Could you love a Psychopath?

[belfpala]

I'll love you if you cook for me.

Watcha want?

Today, for my own gorging, I made a bagel with cream cheese for breakfast, then for lunch I made a BLT, then for dinner I had a frozen pizza... A couple shots of vodka in there somewhere. It's not always glamorous.

Anyway, I have dated multiple ___paths. It's ultimately about me understanding what they're getting from being with me because I'm also a ____path.

And that works.

[Doctor Amadeus]

No, because I don't trust their motivation for romance if it isn't affection and I don't want something fake.

Hmm interesting, not sure I would call it fake, the way I was framing it was if say someone wanting to dance with you, but they had no legs, similar to that. But thanks for your honest answer.

Idk, Dexter seemed alright.

Damn it Winter every single time. Every time, You owe me a new monitor LOL!

"Well Dexter seemed swell"comment I was not prepared.

[Doctor Amadeus]

That code, man... it’s what separated him.

I think Jeff Lindsay and James Manos, Jr is what Separated him

Psychopaths remorselessly abuse anyone close to them. You may think you love them, but actually you love a construct in your mind. The best thing to do with a psychopath is to get the fuck away from them and not talk to them ever again.

I am NOT meaning this to be a smart ass or insult at all, but is what you are saying from personal experience. I honestly am not disagreeing either, but I do think the topic is pretty interesting.

I also think you are probably right, I am not sure even if a psychopath means to, they can do anything other than mimic emotions.

Not from my personal experience, but I've seen what some psychopaths (and related personality disorders) have done to the people close to them through friends and family. I've also read up on the subject.

Ok Gotcha, still seems like prudent wisdom.

I mean, I can cook pretty decently but my own dinner was some frozen broccoli I heated up. Let me day dream :P

OT: No, I draw a line where someone is going to cause extreme strife. Some people are just completely dysfunctional but can improve with professional help and motivation, that's one thing. Being a psychopath is another thing. I'd also rather love someone they way they are, without the huge undertaking, when possible. If that makes sense, I'm tired.

I think that is understandable, because I think there is the idea of a thing, and then there is the actual thing. I think in turn faking it back probably isn't going to help anything.

I'll cook anything you want, if you're paying for my travel, time, and ingredients.

But, to your comment, I've been in relationships with dysfunctional people. I am one, so I can't complain. Even so, there can be a functional level of respect, admiration, even love in such relationships. If I were to summarize, it would be that two dysfunctional people can agree to be dysfunctional together in an insane world.

FAIR ENOUGH.

Also fair enough, I can agree with that.

[Amerrol]

Don't Yandere usually break down at the end and try to kill you when they realize you don't match up with their idealized version of you?

I mean, just don't be a baka and let her love you! Problem solved. If you resist their love because of silly things like her murdering anyone who gets close to you, it will cause your precious Yandere to be angry with you.

[Queen of Hamsters]

Eh, no.

If I wanted a one-way relationship, I'd go out and purchase a plastic cactus. I might have my own issues, but one thing the people around me knows for sure, is that I love them dearly and will ALWAYS be there for them.

[Lochton]

I am sorry, the term 'Psychopath' is just too widespread from my knowledge, can you narrow it down?

[gaymer77]

I would only love the things he bought me with his billions but never love the man so no I could never love Trump!

What Is Psychopathy?
Psychopathy is among the most difficult disorders to spot. The psychopath can appear normal, even charming. Underneath, he lacks conscience and empathy, making him manipulative, volatile and often (but by no means always) criminal. She is an object of popular fascination and clinical anguish: adult psychopathy is largely impervious to treatment, though programs are in place to treat callous, unemotional youth in hopes of preventing them from maturing into psychopaths.

Psychopathy is a spectrum disorder and can be diagnosed only using the 20-item Hare Psychopathy Checklist. (The bar for clinical psychopathy is a score of 30 or more). Brain anatomy, genetics, and a person’s environment may all contribute to the development of psychopathic traits.

The terms “psychopath” and “sociopath” are often used interchangeably, but in correct parlance a “sociopath” refers to a person with antisocial tendencies that are ascribed to social or environmental factors, whereas psychopathic traits are more innate, though a chaotic or violent upbringing may tip the scales for those already predisposed to behave psychopathically. Both constructs are most closely represented in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) as Antisocial Personality Disorder.

No More no less.

The way to understand how I could love such a person, is ask yourself if it was your son or daughter would you still love them? For myself, the answer is yes. But that in itself does not mean you have to be around them and it would be normal to want them to pay for their crimes. If my wife was to suddenly become a psychopath, or it was many years later I found out she was, I would still love her just as much. Love is unconditional that way. I would not be able to live with her anymore of course.

[Azadina]

I'll pass. I'm fine with someone having flaws and issues, but completely dysfunctional like psychopath goes way too far for my taste.

[Meanshield]

Sure. If her tits were big enough and she put out!

So, the new girl you're seeing right now, Mall, is a tad cray eh? Nicely veiled advice thread
