blind love
Love without seeing
Blind love is devotion that overlooks or refuses to see flaws in its object.
The phrase suggests affection so intense it impairs judgment: Blind love kept her from noticing his lies.
Parents may have blind love for their children, lovers for each other.
The blindness can be willful or genuine—either way, it prevents clear assessment of the beloved's faults.
