I appreciate the nuance. Thanks!

That said, I listen to a podcast that focuses on (victims of) conspiratorial thinking and some of the stuff people believe is wild. The recurring theme is that conspiracy-types are most-often looking for control or meaning because their lives are not where they'd like to be. I suspect this is true for people in relationships, too.
