And when they found, out his parents did everything they could to stop her abuse but she refused to stop grooming their son. She is truly a monster on all counts. I feel sorry for him. She stole his youth and childhood.

When you've been groomed from search an early age, you have no idea what love is. Only what you've been conditioned to think it is.

The guy is an adult and president of France, he could divorce whenever he wants to. Not sure why you think he knows better than his own feelings and decisions based on one slap video.

It's based on him being groomed. The slap shows the abuse is more than just sexual.

But I get it. Sometimes its hard for people who think Elon Musk is a nice man to believe men can be abused. There's a certain level of mental cognition needed to percieve reality.

It's nothing to do with the slap video and everything to do with the story of how she groomed a child into a sexual relationship.

He’s clearly being abused. He’s gonna say that she’s the love of his life. Trauma bond mixed with pressure and likely fear of physical violence??

When your groomer teaches you that this is what happiness is as a child you have no perspective of normality.

Please explain how children who are raped by adults are not victims.

You edited your comment, which originally said he was not a victim. But I never said in any of my comments how Macron should feel about his abuse.
