The 'other' dyslexic

What i read,
**it was a sort of tequila induced misunderstanding**
Actually reads,
**in a sort of fragile, unacknowledged truce.**

Perception:
* *Had his father known that he would soon be sleeping around?* *
Actuality:
* *Had his father known that he would soon be stepping down?* *

I knew something was wrong with this sentence,
after 3 tries, i realized it's just a typo:
* *Not that broken bones are any fun, but at least they’re flexible.* *
there was no typo, it read:
* *Not that broken bones are any fun, but at least they’re fixable.* *

What I read...
**and he was bang on time, she saw, glancing up at the tall giraffe at the top of the steps.**
What was actually written...
**and he was bang on time, she saw, glancing up at the tall grandfather clock on the top of the stairs.**

This guy was reading an old journal
what I read:
**There’s a potato jammed between the next two pages. I pry it out and stare at it, not sure what I’m seeing.**
ME EITHER!!! A POTATO.? Surely he would have noticed a potato when they handed him the journal?
Had to read that sentence couple times
-- the actual excerpt reads like this
*** There’s a photo jammed between the next two pages. I pry it out and stare at it, not sure what I’m seeing. ***

More vegetable misreads
**my grandmother’s words are twirling like a tomato in my head**.
No, not tomatoes in my head..
**my grandmother’s words are swirling like a tornado in my head.**
That's just as dumb, tornadoes in my head? 🤔

I have a question.
My favorite genre is HEA almost "sweet" romance novels,
You know, a separation from reality. Except for the following issue.
The guy, let's call him H. Betrays, lies, blackmails, malign, distrusts, denigrates, kidnaps or otherwise maliciously interfere in her life, right?
the girl, let's call her h.
The only facets h has to evaluate said H with, are all negatives
Yes, she still lusts for H, b/c damn, he's HAWT!
But how can you have self respect to say you love someone who only portrays negative traits.
My conundrum: yeah, lust for the guy, but, dayum girl, you can't "love" an amoral deviant dirtbag. What qualities is she finding attractive?
So, no, just no.
Mebbe, after he grovels, then the lurve feelings could start to grow.
