We’ve all been there, haven’t we? No matter what gender or background or sexuality, we’ve all ended up in relationships with people who present nice and grounded, and then turn out to be completely deranged.
This can be extreme and frightening, but commonly the derangement is simply that this person has a fantasy version of themselves and a way they think about the world - or rather an idea about how the world should think about them - and as this person’s partner, it is your job to slot into this fantasy world as the missing piece.
