I've always wondered about this myself, but rather than couple relationships, those with divorced or neglectful parents. In these situations, you often see the child *want* to reconnect with the parent who left and find a million reasons to defend their past actions. Meanwhile, the parent who stayed is the one deemed a villain because, though they helped raise them, they were often under pressure and angry alot. It really is odd how, as humans, we're attracted to who hurt us and how this transcends from childhood to adult good. Thank you for sharing.

Loved this one, Kitty. The boiling frog syndrome is so interesting when it comes to our intimate relationships. Can’t wait for the next Life Club…
