Crazy for you
LOVE can make you do some crazy things, the song says, and true to form, we all know, or have heard of people who have acted questionably when it came to matters of the heart.
What’s the most over-the-top thing you’ve done in the name of love?
Nathaniel J:
When I started to write love poems I knew it was serious. I can’t even write a paragraph, and there I was writing deep poems!
Henry W:
I liked this girl — I saw her as the cheese to my macaroni, the milk to my coffee. I wasn’t the most faithful or considerate fellow in relationships before, actually I was a dog. But this girl, man, I could see myself with her. So I transformed myself so she would be with me. I acted like the gentleman and treated her with respect. Even when she offered sex, I would say no, to let her see that that wasn’t all I was about. It worked, and we were involved for many years. The good thing is that even after she ended it, I didn’t return to my doggish ways.
Cassandra L:
I had a jealous streak over his girlfriend on the university campus and stalked and terrorised her. Out of stupidity I tried to confront her, pushed her, and she kicked me to the ground on the lawns of her department. I was frightened and stabbed her with my pencil. Both he and his girlfriend reported me and he went further and told me how vindictive and demented I was.
Blossom H:
I professed my love to him at his party. He was single, so was I, and we were friends for about two years. I told him in front of everyone that I love him. It was quite an awkward moment, and what made it worse was his response, “That’s nice, but we have such a wonderful friendship, let’s not ruin that.” I was embarrassed and slipped away when the party started buzzing. The next day he apologised for responding so negative in public.
Samuel C:
I climbed on top of my roof to clear my mind and focus a bit on the environment. That’s the story I’m sticking to.
Nadine C:
He lived with his parents and I lived with my parents, but my parents were not as observant as his. For about a month I snuck him into my bedroom while my parents were asleep. I don’t know what woke my father up one night, but let’s just say that a machete and loud cursing were involved, which resulted in my boyfriend having to run down the street in just his underpants.
Peter F:
I got up and took a flight to New York. I never knew her address or where she was. All I knew was that she was in New York. Luckily I found her.
Marie J:
I quit school, left my mother’s house and moved in with him. The end result? He had other women and he became abusive.
Loni C:
Sigh. I can talk about it now, two years later, when I can admit to being foolish. I used my credit card to buy spells online to get him to love me, and when that didn’t work, I bought spells to hurt his new girlfriend. Not a single thing happened, except over $100,000 in credit card bills that I’m still paying back.
Samoya, L:
He told me he wanted another baby (he had two others before he met me) as he couldn’t marry me unless I could prove that I could produce a child. Well, I took a leave of absence from UWI for a year to have our baby, and after the birth we had a fight. Instead of staying to work things out, he promptly got up and left. I suspect that he had told the previous two baby mothers the same story too.
