Men whose ego, obsession, entitlement and need for control can completely ruin your life and change your future forever. He didn’t love Nikki; she loved the idea of him and the fantasy of being chosen.”
Another person online shared her thoughts, adding: “Love how no one understood the real message of obsession is for men who idealize to unrealistic levels.
