Personally, it's more of a self-esteem thing. Someone being so profoundly infatuated with you that they'd hurt themselves, you, or anyone else to be with you would be like the ultimate form of validation. It'd make me feel like I might be worth something, you know? Someone might call that sort of relationship "unhealthy" or "codependent", but what is codependency if not the greatest expression of love? Literally being unable to exist without one another? I can't imagine anything more romantic.
