What Is Dark Love?
Dark Love is a concept in psychology that refers to intense and sometimes disturbing emotional attachments or relationships.
It can involve feelings of obsession, possessiveness, jealousy, and even violence.
This type of love is often associated with personality disorders such as borderline personality disorder or narcissistic personality disorder.
In some cases, Dark Love may be fueled by a deep-seated fear of abandonment or rejection, leading individuals to become overly dependent on their partners and engage in controlling behaviors.
Other factors that may contribute to Dark Love include childhood trauma, low self-esteem, and a lack of healthy relationship models.
It’s important to note that while Dark Love may feel intense and all-consuming, it is not healthy or sustainable in the long run.
Therapy and counseling can help individuals understand and overcome their negative patterns of behavior and move towards healthier relationships.

7. “After all, there’s no sort of guarantee when it comes to love, nor about feeling any sort of way that leaves you attached to another person. We’re unpredictable, almost toxic in a way. If there’s anything I’ve learned since the first day I made this discovery, it’s the fact that we shouldn’t have the sort of relationship that we do. We shouldn’t associate with one another. I shouldn’t care about you. Because like I claimed already, there’s inevitably going to be one person who cares more than the other person does, who feels more than the other person does. And in learning this, in learning that I care more about you than you do about me, I’ve found that I’ve given you the uncanny ability to break me down and, above all else, to destroy me.” ― Cara Demers
