Napoleon was a creepy dude. See these "love letters" he wrote to Josephine:
“Adieu, adorable Josephine; one of these nights your door will open with a great noise; as a jealous person, and you will find me on your arms.”
“Adieu, adorable Josephine; one of these nights your door will open with a great noise; as a jealous person, and you will find me on your arms.”
"I don’t love you, not at all; on the contrary I detest you—you’re a naughty, gawky, foolish slut.”
"Josephine, take care! Some fine night, the doors will be broken open and there I'll be."
"Josephine, take care! Some fine night, the doors will be broken open and there I'll be."
"There are those four days between the 23rd, and the 26th.; what were you doing that you failed to write to your husband? (...) The day when you say "I love you less", will mark the end of my love and the last day of my life."
"I am waiting patiently for Murat to know the details of what you are doing, what you are saying, whom you are seeing, what you are wearing.
Everything to do with my adorable is dear to my heart, which only longs to know."
Everything to do with my adorable is dear to my heart, which only longs to know."
There's also some 18th-century sexting though.
"A kiss on the heart, and one lower down, much lower!"
"A kiss on the heart, and one lower down, much lower!"
