Do you try to &“save&” people from themselves?In legends and fairytales, the white knight rescues the damsel in distress, falls in love, and saves the day. Real-life white knights are men and women who enter into romantic relationships with damaged and vulnerable partners, hoping that love will transform their partner&’s behavior or life. It&’s a relationship pattern that seldom leads to a storybook ending.Hoping to receive validation and love from their partners, white knights only cheat themselves out of emotionally healthy relationships.
