This was a huge AHA moment for me--when I realized that what I thought was true love was really a magnetic attraction to "matching dysfunction." As my friend Minnie put it: "The horns on his head fit perfectly the holes in mine."

And when a poster describes their relationship with their alcoholic as "a connection unlike any other they've ever felt," or "meant to be," or any of those other fairy tale terms, I cringe.
