Men will tell you that they are so in love with you that it is making them ill. They will say they have stopped eating and sleeping. They say that they fear unless they can have you they will die. Then, the moment you given, they get up and walk away and lose all interest. The next week they will pass you by as if they don't know you.
In "Bring Up the Bodies," Hilary Mantel explores the fleeting nature of men's declarations of love. The narrative reveals that men often express such intense emotions that it appears to consume them, claiming that their infatuation leads to physical distress. They profess a desperate need for the object of their affection, suggesting that without her, they might not survive.
However, this profound devotion is shown to be superficial. Once their desires are fulfilled, they quickly shift their attention elsewhere, demonstrating a lack of genuine commitment. The swift transition from passionate love to indifference illustrates the transient and often insincere nature of romantic declarations, highlighting the complexities of human relationships.
