Flaw in Kurt's choice of Love

Priscilla Presley 2.0 - She wanted to ride Kurt's coattails, but at the same time, keep the leash around his neck REALLY tight. When things turned south in their marriage, he dies, and she becomes Priscilla Presley 2.0 -- coincidence?

They're both smackheads. Not much mystery to their relationship.

Courtney was not my cup of tea, however, she was a good musician and Hole was always an underrated band IMO.

They clearly had compatible personality types: he was shy and reclusive and she was loud and dominating. They both were troubled and there was a bond there for that. He clearly lived for her drama and I could see how he was drawn to her so obvious imperfections which she wore on her sleeve, and her unapologetic nature.

I don't think that it's fair to blame her in any way - there was clearly dysfunction to their relationship which stemmed from their deeply rooted issues and drug use.

Kurt believed you could heal the wound by picking at it. So he ran from ointment. Simple as that. Im no psychotherapist, but it seems textbook. Just sad that noone could save him. Anytime someone tried to tell him courtney was no good, he just pushed them away. Its classic.

Hahahahaha you Kurtard fans are truly weird and demented. What does HIS or any man's choice in women have to do with you? How does who HE chose to date and screw affect your lives? Y'all portray Kurt as some weak mousy loser that needed a woman to care for him instead of him being a grown man and taking care of himself and his business. Anybody that wants to be in a band or be in the movies wants to be famous. How you idiots can say Courtney used him and was a leech is hilarious. The woman was ambitious long before she met Kurt. In fact she had been in a few bands herself. At one point she was the lead singer for Faith No More. Then she fronted Pagan Babies and Sugar Baby Doll. She also traveled and lived in Japan for a while. Not only that she went to college. She also had jobs as a stripper to support her band. At one point she had a trust fund she lived off. So it seems she had no problems making her own money and being independent. She then tried getting into acting. So the woman clearly was not a leech and worked. Kurt was his own person and found Courtney attractive for many reasons. If you watch the doc just read the stuff he wrote about her in his letters, look at the home movies of them together, and not only that google his "big F you" comment regarding Courtney. Whether you like her or not Courtney was a strong, loud, opinionated woman that wasn't afraid to be herself, speak her mind, and being called a biotch. Kurt liked that. Also he was the one with the Sid and Nancy fantasy. In one interview he even stated he thought Courtney was Nancy Spungen. Kurt clearly loved her and all couples have their issues and grow apart. You are the type of person Kurt would hate because you speak ill of his wife and mother of his child. He did not like that sort of stuff. You don't know them personally or what went on behind closed doors. Kurt was nothing but a depressed junky that couldn't kick his heroin addiction and ultimately blew his brains out. The man couldn't even focus on holding his baby without being high on drugs and nodding off while holding the baby. Getting up in the middle of his daughter's birthday to more than likely go get high. He was a whiny loser and Courtney tried to help him many of times. Quit blaming her and his parents for his demise and poor decisions he made. He was a grown ass man.

The only flaw here is one human (you) thinking its your place to determine the value of another human's choice in who to love.

Probably every single person on earth has loved someone who somebody else would've disagreed with, but love in inquantifiable. Its utterly impossible to tell someone that they are with the wrong person. We are not hard-wired to listen to other people's opinion, when it comes to love.

For what its worth.... in the film, when Courtenay looked at Kurt, i saw nothing but complete adoration in her eyes. She loved the dude, probably more completely than even his greatest fan could.

Heroin is what destroyed his life, not Courtney Love, and although maybe she introduced him to that world, he was a willing participant. He must bear the blame.
