It still can. I do understand the points of others, as for sure narcs use that line to manipulate. However, there is a difference between loving someone despite their faults and the faulty person refusing to work on themselves to be a better person. This connects well to the comment I came into this story to make about the "you complete me" line as being so romantic in the eyes of too many (not you). The most romantic line I recall was in a movie the following year, As Good as it Gets, when Jack Nicholson's deeply flawed character says to Helen Hunt, "You make me want to be a better man." Look at Helen's reaction in this scene: https://youtu.be/A75AgrH5eqc

which also connects to one of my favorite relationships quotes that I have dropped on you before: “The purpose of a relationship is not to have another who might complete you, but to have another with whom you might share your completeness.” — Neale Donald Walsch from Conversations with God, Book 1
