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.
