Discuss why they love these men. I guess I really don't understand how anyone could love a criminal who wasn't family. Do they go into it?

Some have mentioned how attentive and romantic they are. Yes, because they literally have nothing else to do! Another commented that she like knowing where he is at all times. Another said love without sex. I think really the illusion of being in love, with a guy who would be way out of her league on the outside.
