What do you think of this?

Codependents are often drawn to abusive types because they fit neatly into our preconceived ideas of what love is.$$Nick and Amy Dunne are versions of the idea of romance we grew up with. Amy is the damsel in distress who feels trapped in her marriage. Nick is the romantic hero who "rescues" her. $$Amy wants to be rescued. She was terrified of the rape, terrified of being ignored by her husband, terrified of being a stay-at-home mom. $$Nick wants to rescue. He told Margo that he was going to rescue Amy from Shannan, and then from Rob, who Nick saw as abusive. $$They share the same idea of what love should be: codependent. The only difference is that Amy is codependent in a toxic way, while Nick is codependent in a more romantic way. $$I think that Nick Dunne is a codependent because he doesnt love Amy. He loves the idea of her, and the idea of rescuing her. He was obsessed with rescuing her, not with loving her. $$That's why he lied to his therapist: he said Amy wasn't happy in their marriage. Why? Because he knew that if Amy wasn't happy, he could rescue her, could win her back, and be that romantic hero. $$And in the end, that's what Amy did to Nick. She rescued him, and proved her devotion to him. $$And I know that some people are going to read this and think I'm crazy, because Nick and Amy are the romantic heroes of the story and we're supposed to cheer for them, but I think that's the point: relationships that we see as romantic are sometimes built on abuse and codependency and that's not healthy.
