TL;DR: Woman destroys herself over (possibly Dark Triad) Chad. Ethics questions raised...

Lately I have been talking to this acquaintance about our respective situation in life; I've been chatting with her for years on and off. Let's call her K.

K is in a bit of a predicament right now; see, after yet another argument with her Chad boyfriend she decided to down an unknown quantity of paracetamol but refused to stay in hospital for treatment (for many different reasons but also I imagine as to not embarass Chad). As of today she has become ill with many symptoms of liver failure.

During all of this, where is Chad ? Skiing with his buddies in Switzerland, and with his mother in the background (he seems to have an overprotective mother) telling him to get rid of K to not damage his reputation. Yet, what is K most worried about at this point ? her health ? her job ? her son ? noooo, she worries about the way she upset Chad; despite him clearly not giving a single fuck; and still hopes for a happy end to this wreck.

K is by no means a landwhale, I'd rate her a solid 8/10 if it wasn't for the obvious crazies (5-6/10 with current crazies). K is by no means an idiot, she perfectly understands the psychology behinds all this YET cannot overcome it... She spends her days fretting about Chad and comparing herself to his previous girlfriends (stalking them on FB, let me tell you Chad actually has mediocre taste in women)

I suspect Chad is Dark Triad (this going by what she told me and what I looked up about him; I tried talking to him directly, out of curiosity to check his side of the story, to no avail).

It is stunning to me to actually see this situation develop; but yes women (not even landwhales, but leggit hot women like K) will spiral out of control if they don't get Chad and will end up destroying themselves for real.

On a side note, when I was a kid, I witnessed my own mother plotting to get run over by car so as to seduce a doctor she took a fancy to... AWALT...

It conflicts with my ethics, my values; would I ever want to be like Chad ? would I ever want to be Dark Triad (I have some streaks of each of the 3 that I could develop) ? Are there any ethics at all in relationships between men and women ?
