There is nothing more dangerous, more lethal for the loved person than to be loved, as it were, for not what he or she is, but for fitting the ideal.
All too often, when we love somebody, we … accept him or her … insofar as this person fits the co-ordinates of our fantasy. … Which is why, when we discover that we were wrong, love can quickly turn into violence.
— Slavoj Zizek
