However, While he may seek loving relationships and an everlasting love, this is not easy for Marilyn Manson to find - or more precisely, to sustain. When Marilyn becomes romantically involved with someone, either he or the other person will create rifts once a certain level of comfort and predictability has been achieved. Even if there is no outward break in the relationship, a certain emotional aloofness or dissatisfaction is apt to develop. This is because Marilyn Manson really wants both closeness and absolute freedom - a combination that is difficult to attain. However, if he does not at least attempt to honestly fulfill both of these urges, events seemingly out of the blue will wreak havoc in Marilyn's closest relationships.
