This isn't really a famous quote or anything like that...its just something a friend of mine said while discussing her relationship with her boyfriend.  I had to laugh when she said it but it really is so true when ya think about it.   I'm sure we all can relate to it tho.

Strangely, for some women, that does actually make them love you more. The worse you treat 'em.  Ignore them, don't call...et cetera. I do my best to steer clear of those types. I find they not only come with issues, they tend to carry lifetime subscriptiions.

LOL yeah it sounds like they would have issues if they love someone that would treat you that way.       Doesn't sound like love if they have no time for you and ignore you all the time and treat you badly.   I guess love means different things to different people huh?  lol
