"My ex left notes for me to find in my books. S@#t like “I will miss you” and “I will always love you”
It’s been 9 years and I am still. Finding. This. S@#t.
He was really abusive so it just makes me angry. Also it still feels like a violation, knowing he was taking that kind of time to go through my stuff like that. Creepy af."

That is something I will never understand.
There is this thing called infatuation - it is like a drug that makes people almost unable to find minor faults with each other until it is over, it can last for between 1 and 3 years. All the redflags are obvious in hindsight or from neutral observers perspective, also if someone was burned previously they will learn to spot the early signs out of necessity.
