I mean I have made some questionable decisions in my love life but this is on another level. 

Smythe regularly covered Shkreli's antics and became close to him, seeking to write an in-depth profile of him. She never got that profile, but she did upend her life. Entranced with him, she divorced her husband and, at Shkreli's suggestion, froze her eggs so that they could start a family together when he gets out of prison, as early as 2023, Clifford writes.

In the Elle article, Smythe talks about maintaining a relationship with Shkreli while he's incarcerated. She spent hours traveling to and from his prison. She printed out internet memes about him on glossy photo paper. They shared their first kiss in prison, in a visitor's room smelling of chicken wings.

...

When Elle reached out to Shkreli asking for comment about the story, he said only "Mr. Shkreli wishes Ms. Smythe the best of luck in her future endeavors."

Smythe said she'll wait for him.

If you think that your partner declaring he will buy you a goat farm while he is sitting in prison for securities fraud is the height of romance, you may want to think about your life choices.

Sudan man forced to 'marry' goat

A Sudanese man has been forced to take a goat as his "wife", after he was caught having sex with the animal.

The goat's owner, Mr Alifi, said he surprised the man with his goat and took him to a council of elders.

They ordered the man, Mr Tombe, to pay a dowry of 15,000 Sudanese dinars ($50) to Mr Alifi.

"We have given him the goat, and as far as we know they are still together," Mr Alifi said.

Mr Alifi, Hai Malakal in Upper Nile State, told the Juba Post newspaper that he heard a loud noise around midnight on 13 February and immediately rushed outside to find Mr Tombe with his goat.

"When I asked him: 'What are you doing there?', he fell off the back of the goat, so I captured and tied him up".

Mr Alifi then called elders to decide how to deal with the case.

"They said I should not take him to the police, but rather let him pay a dowry for my goat because he used it as his wife," Mr Alifi told the newspaper.

Or, she's almost enough to cause one to want to marry a goat.
