Blinded by Love

"My Relationship: A Cautionary Tale of Obsession and Control"

As I reflect on my marriage, I'm reminded of the toxic dynamic between Harley Quinn and the Joker. Like Harley, I was young and vulnerable when I met my husband. I was 18, a mother of two, and he was older, someone I'd known since childhood. I was swept off my feet, and he quickly became the center of my universe.

He knew exactly how to manipulate me, using his charm and affection to control me. I was completely under his spell, blinded by my love for him. I would have done anything for him, just like Harley did for the Joker. But as time passed, I realized that our relationship was built on obsession, not love.

Like Harley, I had a life, a sense of self, but I sacrificed it all for him. I thought he was the missing piece I needed, but in reality, he was the one with issues, unable to truly love or appreciate me. He used me, just like the Joker used Harley, and when he was done, he discarded me.

Our relationship was a constant cycle of highs and lows, with him pulling the strings and me dancing to his tune. I was trapped in a web of his making, unable to escape the toxic dynamic that had become our norm. His words were laced with venom, and his actions were calculated to keep me in line.

In the end, it was clear that I was just a pawn in his game of control and manipulation. He never truly saw me, never truly loved me. I was just a means to an end, a way for him to feed his own ego and desires.

I'm breaking free from the cycle of obsession and control. I'm taking back my life, my sense of self, and my worth. I won't be like Bonnie and Clyde, chasing a high that will only lead to destruction. ⤵️
