Some on here may be interested in my thread “The black widow/er effect” on sci.med.diseases.cancer in which I claim that incompatible non-platonic one-way attraction relationships lead to a shortened lifespan for the one who is deceived. While the black widow/er effect often leads to terminal cancer, an early sign of it would be mental health problems for the one who is deceived. Tonight I emailed an abbreviated version of that thread to the contact email for the Canadian Longitudinal Study on Aging. In that email I noted that one mention of the black widower effect is as the “venom" in Taylor Swift's song The Fate of Ophelia. -- https://www.nfld.com/~dalton/dtales.html Salmon on the Thorns (mystic page) "This could be the final breath; This is life and death; This is hard rock and water; Out here between wind and flame; Between tears and elation; Lies a secret nation" (Ron Hynes)
