 Dear ABC Family,

Sleeping With the Enemy is not some cheery romantic comedy, as you portray it in your previews.  It is about a woman who fakes her own death to escape an abusive husband, starts a new life and finds a new love, only to have her husband track down down stalk them, and eventually attack them.  I pity the people who tune in to your station who are not familiar with the movie and expect a cute romantic comedy, which your previews indicate it is.

Thank You,

Me

The ambiguity really suits it, too, since from the speaker's POV it's all twoo luv, you're mine, we need to be back together, whereas from a careful listener's outside perspective the dude is totally creepy.

It just baffles me that some people focus on the tone so much that they never seem to notice all the scary stuff -- I've heard of people using it as their wedding song, which just hurts my head.

Yes, you see why that very idea makes me blink in stunned silence.

And really, even if you ignore all the "I'm obsessed and controlling and stalkery" bits...even the least-creepy parts are all "you're gone and I miss you and want you back"...yeah, that's a really cheerful, appropriate tone to set at a wedding!

It's the 'every bond you break' that make me first hesitate and realize this was a rather dark song.

(I still love it and find it romantic, though. In that screwed up way.)
