Rather than a refutation of freewill that would be an assertion of your will, that is, your capacity to determine your choices.
You wouldn't have to deny your 'love' in order to cut that person out of your life. There was 'something' 'there' at some point, yeah ?
You would agree that the destruction is what you do not desire, regardless your affection.
