Nothing says "guilty pleasure" quite like the Real Housewives series, and when you tune in, it doesn't matter what season you're watching or which city they're from — you always end up on the same emotional roller coaster. Between all the fights and lavish getaways and impressive table flips, you're up, you're down, you're laughing, you're horrified, and by the time the reunion airs, you're just really, really flabbergasted. If you can't help but tune in season after season, it's time to discuss everything you feel when you watch The Real Housewives.

Everything You Feel While Watching The Real Housewives

You swore you wouldn't watch another season, but then you do.

You're embarrassingly excited for all the drama.

And at first, you sort of love all the crazy.

Things are just so, so weird.

And you're like, "Is this real life?"

Honestly, you're a little concerned.

But you also cannot. look. away.

There's just so much drinking.

As in, tons of it.

It's always wine o'clock.

Or straight-from-the-bottle o'clock.

The more they drink, the wilder it all gets.

You learn insults you never knew existed.

You love-hate every fight scene.

You start to wonder if YOU'VE gone crazy.

Because you're bewildered. Just . . . bewildered.

Out of nowhere, they're all yelling at once.

SO MUCH YELLING.

It's all attitude from every angle.

You're shocked and appalled by how they act.

And you're just WAY past overwhelmed.

Seriously, you were not prepared.

You thought this was all fun and games.

But then you remember that these are their actual lives.

And everything starts to feel a little TOO real.

All of a sudden you feel very, very sad.

You're like, "I should really stop watching."

You feel the push-and-pull in your heart.

On the one hand, it really IS silly.

But it's also so, so entertaining.

You ignore all the Housewives haters.

And decide that you just can't say goodbye. Not yet, anyway.

You unapologetically watch every episode. #SorryNotSorry

. . . And then go through the same cycle every season.
