Alright, I'm adoring almost everything about Les Mis including the bits I complain about, but I dead seriously am starting to think that Marius and Cosette's romance is the single stupidest, unhealthiest relationship I have ever read except possibly Twilight. But only possibly. I am genuinely, jaw-droppingly appalled at how thoroughly and unmitigatedly awful it is. I would think it was a parody of fairy-tale romance if it weren't clearly taking itself perfectly seriously. Every time I think it can't possibly get any more ridiculous, it gets more ridiculous. It's pretty much stopped being funny and now I'm just like I cannot get over how bad this is.

Yes, but I can't blame Cosette for that given that she had a super abusive childhood followed by many years in a convent with no life experience! SHE DOESN'T KNOW.

But haha, man, if I remember right Victor Hugo's own love life was pretty super unhealthy. Weren't he and his brother madly in love with the same girl? And then Victor Hugo married her and his brother had a nervous breakdown on their wedding day?
