There’s not much that can be done really though. The whole *idea* of romance: the girl being swept “off her feet”, “madly in love”.. Madness.
Madness. “Crazy about you”. I mean it’s right there in how we talk about romance and we don’t even make the connection about its danger when taken too far.
Thankfully, _most_ people are reasonable enough and don’t fall into abusive patterns.
Being broken by love; the wounded warrior of love… wearing scars proudly. It’s part of our culture.
Men proudly bear the scars of war. Women proudly bear the scars of love.
Oh well. I just don’t like seeing people get hurt.
