I don't think love is blind...

...I think love in more pure than that. It's not love that causes us to be in denial. IMHO real, authentic, healthy love sees truth no matter how painful it is to see it.

I think obsession is blind. I think addiction is blind.

I used to be obsessed with my wife, and I'm still working through my addiction to her. Both of these things are separate from my love for her which is what has helped me to live in my real world, instead of the world of denial I had so carefully built.

Take what you want and leave the rest,
