I can fix her/him/them

This mistaken humanistic view of reality is quite like the story of The Frog and the Scorpion — BUT FOR REAL!!!!!

The mistaken belief that a one’s love and understanding can change another person’s personality and character. A person who has demonstrably driven several people crazy while in tempestuous toxic relationships. A more contemporary approach to relationships and relating that ignores traditional conventional wisdoms like:

*** Once a cheater always a cheater.
*** you can’t turn a whore into a house wife.
*** Peter Pan will never grow up.
*** People do not change.
*** If they will do it with you; they will do it to you.
*** If they mistreat a waiter or waitress they will mistreat you.

Ignoring the wisdom and experience of an entire culture, the optimistic lover proclaims: “I can fix him/her/them”.

Understanding that this is the 21st century, this statement has been updated to include the possibility of chosen pronouns.
1) How many women have entered into extramarital relationships with Herschel Walker thinking, “I can fix him”?
2) How many men have entered into a relationship with one of the Kardashian women thinking, “I can fix her”?
3) How many women have entered into a relationship with Ellen DeGenerous thinking, “I can fix them”?
4) My powers of love and understanding or so strong that I can fix her/him/them.
