What is Dobler Dahmer syndrome?

Similar to the The Police, “Every Breath You Take”, ostensibly a romantic song, however a song about stalking.

Hahah yes. It’s quite funny how many love songs are more of a stalking situation than just a cute love ballad.

Not really my genre but if I come across it I’ll give it a go.

I got the idea from How I met your mother.
When Marshal writes Lilly a song that to anyone else sounds really creepy and stalker like. but because she’s into him, apparently it’s the sweetest song ever.
