@delia_cai That's why people lived communal life where all these things were shared throughout - grandparents, aunties and uncles, cousins, etc. Now we're scattered and each is isolated, forced to face everything in front of the same people.
@AweniOnibata There should be a go fund me to print out big banners that says 'her blood is on your hands' to be plastered where her parents live - for the rest of those parents lives.
Henry VIII pursued Anne Boleyn for nearly seven years. He wrote her passionate letters, refused to abandon the pursuit, and ultimately challenged the authority of the Roman Catholic Church when he could not obtain permission to marry her. The conflict led to the English Reformation, permanently changing the religious and political structure of England. From the outside, it looked like the ultimate story of devotion. A king defying a church. A man refusing to give up the woman he wanted. But only three years after their marriage, Anne Boleyn was arrested, accused of treason and adultery, and executed in 1536.
History often reminds us of something uncomfortable:
Obsession and persistence are not the same thing as love. Psychology research shows that intense pursuit behaviors can sometimes be driven not by emotional connection, but by ego, power, or the desire to possess what feels unattainable. In fact, relationship studies have found that early extreme intensity can sometimes predict controlling or unstable dynamics later in a relationship. Many women are raised on stories that frame relentless pursuit as romantic. But intensity alone is not proof of care. Sometimes it is only proof of desire to win. Real love tends to look different. It is consistent. It is calm. And it does not disappear once the chase is over.
@labaadiabolique@viktorbensonyt At this point, I'm beginning to get convinced that men who are bad at sex know how bad they're, they're aware of it - hence why this much insistence on forcing us that it was so 'special'. Meanwhile we either laugh or feel cringed about it. They want the delulu so bad!
