When she finally agreed to become Abelard's wife, Heloise told him, "Then there is no more left but this, that in our doom the sorrow yet to come shall be no less than the love we two have already known."
But shortly after the two lovers are wed, they discover Fulberts true plot is to ruin Abelard and keep Heloise for himself. They flee for Brittany, Abelards place of birth.
Abelard wrote about the attack: It soon becomes apparent that only one teacher in Paris can provide the education that she seeks. But their physical love and the strength of their passion proved to be a power impossible to resist. When Heloise went to stay with the nuns at Argenteuil, her uncle and kinsmen believe Abelard had cast her off, forcing her to become a nun. In a scheme to protect the dignity of his fallen niece, and return Heloise to his home, Canon Fulbert arranges a secret marriage between Heloise and Abelard. In a heartbreaking moment, Heloise must give up her child, knowing that she will never see him again. Through their famous correspondence of twenty years, their love continues to flourish, in spite of their separation.

They soon find themselves so entwined that neither can resist the spiritual and physical desires of their bodies, yet they both know that the laws of the time forbid such a relationship.
She left her uncle's house when he was not at home, and she stayed with Abelard's sister until Astrolabe was born. Soon enough, despite their age difference, Abelard and Heloise became Was mich so fasziniert ist die Wandlung die Abaelard und Heloise durchlebten vor dem Entstehen des Briefwechsels , die Abkehr von der weltlichen,"fleischlichen"(heute ein eher altmodischer Begriff) Liebe und die Zuwendung zum christlichen Glauben, in dem beide schließlich ihre Erfüllung fanden. Here is an admonitory tale screaming to us from across the centuries to reason, and to question, question, question! Secretly married, the couple left Astrolabe with Abelard's sister. As a result of his humiliating punishment, Abelard no longer considers himself capable of continuing as a teacher at Notre Dame, and he and Heloise understand what they must do.
Furthermore, Heloise wrote of her dislike of marriage, going so far as to call it prostitution.
But when Fulbert discovered their love, he separated them.
Fulbert agreed, but Abelard struggled to persuade Heloise to marry him under such conditions.
Canon Bedell pleads with Abelard to not force such a fate upon Heloise, but both Heloise and Abelard agree that they must take Holy Orders as Monk and Nun. They began to correspond, leaving what is known as the four "Personal Letters" and the three "Letters of Direction."

Heloise was one of the most well-educated women of her time, as well as a great beauty. Fulbert responded by ordering men to castrate him.
Abelard asked for Fulbert's forgiveness and permission to secretly marry Heloise, to protect his career.
There are still societies whose policies result in rigid attitudes of intellectual, theological and sexual repression. Of no mean beauty, she stood out above all by reason of her abundant knowledge of letters."
Sie waren füreinander geschaffen wie der erste Mann und die erste Frau, der charismatische Theologieprofessor und seine blutjunge Studentin. Six hundred years later, it was Josephine Bonaparte, so moved by their story, the she ordered that the remains of Abelard and Heloise be entombed together at Pére Lachaise cemetery in Paris.
Their separation didn't end the affair, and they soon discovered Heloise was pregnant. To this day, lovers from all over the world visit the tomb where the remains of Heloise and Abelard rest eternally together.
