Q&A: I Fell in Love With Someone and Couldn’t See the Forest for the Trees. Has This Ever Happened to You?

Question by CorBlimey: I fell in love with someone and couldn’t see the forest for the trees. Has this ever happened to you?
I am coming out of almost a year of the fact that I thought I loved someone and loved him in spite of his absurd lifestyle.

He even TOLD me he secretly deals in illicit drugs and even saw it.

He even told me he takes meth amphetamine (supposedly in his words “a recreational user”

I drink alcohol much but I don’t ever, ever take illegal drugs. Never, ever ever.

My point is that I blanked out his illicit dealings and for a year (until now) I had put him on a pedestal.

How does that happen? He has a beautiful face and an engaging smile and a winning way.

Why did I fall in love and cry myself to sleep for 6 months when I fell in love with him and I realized I couldn’t have him?

Have you ever fallen in love with someone you shouldn’t have fallen in love with and after a long time of crying yourself to sleep, suddenly woke up and thought:

“What the hell was I doing?”

Tell me your stories cos I am just recently over a ridiculously long period of crying into my pillow.

Plenty of people have been there too. There will be others. We do this because we want to love the person and we want love. There is nothing wrong with that. We always (in the beginning) paint a beautiful picture of someone, because that is how we WANT them to be.

Next time (and there will be a next time), try and see the person for what they really are!!
