Girls, I fell for my now boyfriend because he didn't force himself onto me. What was your saddest reason you ever fell for someone?

Explanation: I think that's a sad reason because something that should be a given, like respect for girls/women is somehow so rare that it impresses me everytime.

A boyfriend I had for a month when I was 17, I fell for him because we trauma bonded. We’d both been raped in the past and had a history of self harm and wanting to end our lives. Was a horrible relationship. He was an alcoholic slob, he was 4 years older than me and was doing nothing with his life, and he got turned on when I self harmed. Safe to say my eyes opened to how truly awful he was after a couple weeks, and it took me another 2 weeks to get the fuck away from him. He’s now 24 and still going after 17 year olds.
