Whether it feels good to us or not, there's something about the feeling of falling in love that can be all-encompassing.
And the harder it is to stop thinking about someone, the easier it can be to start rationalizing behavior that we might otherwise consider a red flag if we met them on a blind date.
As a result, people can find themselves letting a lot of controlling behavior slide before they realize their relationship isn't as normal as it might have once seemed.
And after one woman saw enough of the light in this department to leave her toxic ex-boyfriend, she obviously found something very cathartic about sharing what life with him was like.
