Alas, Ebbie, history is full of women who have followed demonic men, often with very tragic endings not so much for them but for those they encountered.

I have no idea why some woman would do it. I call it "Dirty Den Syndrome". Den was a real horror on the soap "Eastenders" and yet many women were totally drawn to him. Moths and flames come to mind.

Yet more women often do it out of some kind or fear too. Perhaps being next to a powerful socio-psychopath gives them some strange sense of protection? I make no sense of it either

Bonny and Clyde, Brady and Hindley, Hitler and Braun, The Wests...

Sadly there are too many examples of this strange phenomena :-(
