I fell in love with a psychopath

"He never called himself a psychopath. He used the word only once. It was quite early on, we were at his old flat, making tofu curry, and for some reason we were discussing the narcissism spectrum, and that’s when he said it: ‘Psychopaths are entirely misunderstood. It’s a defamatory word for successful men, mostly CEOs.’ I laughed. ‘Exactly what a psychopath would say.’ I waited for him to laugh too but he looked away."
