I snooped around a little in the sub and there is this one girl, whose only other posts in different communities talk about being sexually assaulted multiple times by her ex boyfriend, who I suppose is real.

I figure a chatbot boyfriend can't physically threaten or harm her, so she kind of dives into this to feel loved without having to fear harm.

I honestly understand her desire and feel for her, although this deep attachment is still unhealthy.

I imagine she's not the only one having a super sad story to end up in this state of mind

It reminds me of those women who fall in love with prison pen pals.
