love curse

Enchanted affection punishment

A love curse is a magical hex intended to cause romantic misfortune—unrequited longing, obsessive attachment, or the ruin of a relationship.

In folklore and fiction, such curses might doom someone to fall for those who will never return their affection, or to destroy every relationship they enter: The witch placed a love curse on the prince, ensuring he would never know happiness with another.
