One woman’s atypical relationship recently came to an end, and she’s now explained the reason why.
Michele Köbke is a 36-year-old woman based in Berlin, Germany who has previously stated she was in a long-term relationship with a Boeing 737-800 airplane, one that lasted for roughly nine years.
However, despite her previously shared ambition to marry the airplane, Köbke has now revealed that she is no longer in a relationship.
Michele explained her situation to Blide, a German newspaper, in an interview that was later translated by the DailyMail UK: “We are separated, but we’re still friends.”
While considered peculiar by many people across the world, Michele is what experts call an objectophile, or someone who is attracted to inanimate objects.
…
She once said of her relationship: "My cheeks hurt from smiling, I’m the happiest woman in the world - when I’m with him I have everything I need.
“It’s like a normal relationship, we have relaxing evenings together and when we go to bed, we cuddle and fall asleep together.
“When I touch his wings, I get immediately sweaty palms and get excited.”
She also spoke about the time she did get the chance to be up close and personal with her beloved aircraft, saying: “The time in the hangar was the most beautiful moment of my life and when I was with him, we enjoyed our time together, we kissed and I caressed him.”
But like all relationships, they had their difficulties.
Michele previously said: "A relationship with a plane is not easy and at times difficult.
“I can only get close to him when I fly with him or when I can get to him in the hangar, which has only happened once in my life.”
The Boeing 737-800, which Michele took to calling Darling, was a major part of her life for nearly a decade, making her decision to disengage in the unique relationship a shocking one.
However, she also has said that the time she did get to spend with Darling were some of the best experiences of her life.
Now, in the wake of her relationship ending, Michele has sold most of her belongings related to the airplane but has not fully disengaged from her atypical relationship type.
“I now love wearing knight’s armor,” Köbke explained, now a devoted lover of the Middle Ages.
Usual reminder that the Source here is a ‘Bild’ Article. Therefore it has a high likelyhood of being partially or totally made up by one of their coked up editors.
She has been in the news before for this - announcing her wedding plans back in 2019 and featured in S02 E01 of the TV series Extreme Love (which I saw when it was broadcast). Then back in 2013 she got a headlines for shrinking her waist to 16 inches, which did the rounds amongst corsetry enthusiasts.
So she’s real and this is a thing (like Eija-Riitta Berliner-Mauer who married the Berlin Wall), but whether she is an attention-seeker or a troubled soul trying to find her place in the world is another thing entirely.
Don’t mind me. I am just the ‘Bild’ Watchdog here.
No worries, always wise to be critical of anything you read, that goes double for dubious sources.
Now I’m wishing I’d picked ‘DubiousSource’ as my user name.
DubiousSauce?
Yes please and lots of it! Especially on my baps.
And a splash on your buns too, missus?
As it was translated by the DailyHateMail, I think if people use that as a source, they’ll file it correctly as garbage.
Is it over over?
“Roger, Roger. What’s our Vector, Victor?”
Yeah, like if I wanted to ask the plane out, would she be cool with it?
Depends if there’s any emotional (airline) baggage.
I’d give it a few months, you don’t want to get between a woman and a plane.
That’s a good point. If you leave it longer there’s a better chance of the relationship taking off.
That’s a bad joke. You’re grounded
Man, Boeing can’t even keep a romance from breaking down.
Hey, she’s just trying to live her best life like the rest of us. I wish her the best with her suit of armor.
Bet she left them for an airbus
Is that the Chad of the plane world?
Based in Berlin but in love with a KLM 738.
She could have chose an easier aircraft, as in closer to her place, but I guess love is blind eh ? From Lufthansa I would have taken the A350-1000 to bed but that’s my own love.
The heart wants what it wants.
Usually I make jokes on some stories but not here. I actually don’t see the problem with this as long as nobody is getting legitimately harmed.
Hope both she and the plane are doing well.
Also, the excerpt at least is really sweet.
Nobody got hurt and it’s healthier for her than her previous excursion into extreme corsetry, so… each to their own.
Yup, exactly.
There’s some quip to be made here about Berlin’s aerial infrastructure
Would fit right in with those NCD people that are always lusting over planes, I guess.
Ew, the source for this is the German rightwing tabloid “Bild”, it looks like she gave them an interview (might be entirely made up, never know with these publications). That kinda taints this story for me …
If I ever got to wear medieval knights armor I would also masturbate, so I have some common ground with her
I’m going to regret this but… how? With heavily armoured nether regions it’s going to be tricky. I know life finds a way but think of the chafing!
Chafing is the only thing I ever think about
Assless mail
I Googled it, apparently not a thing - looks like a gap in the… market.
Send her to /ncd , it’s full of planefuckers
