Fitting quote.

A few months ago, I got out of a relationship with someone who love-bombed, then polybombed and gaslit me, and for a time, reading all of your posts and comments gave me laughter, strength and comfort. Thank you all for that!

One of the funniest images fitting my situation said: "Ladies, if you feel stupid for falling for his charm, remember Henry VIll chased Anne Boleyn for 7 years, defied the church to marry her, and still had her beheaded." I've been watching a period drama on exactly him, The Tudors, and one character says to another (not about him, but another philanderer), and I thought it fit here perfectly:

„You don’t know the meaning of the word [love]. You can 'love', perhaps for a year or a month, a day, even for an hour. And in that hour, I do believe you 'love' as well and deeply as any man. But after that hour, you 'love' not. You 'love' another and then another. Your 'love' is most generous where it is most hurtful.“
