I think it's fine. I had no problem with the meaning.

Hi, submitter here. Comment in the meanwhile was not by me.
For what it's worth, in the work I was reading, the term was defined right after the mention:
(She is heartbroken and her friend is consoling her on the phone.)
「アイツのことは惚れた弱味だと思ってもう少し頑張れよ。[pause] あんまりぶったれてるとアイツに愛想つかされるってことだよ。アイツは女に不自由してないんだから。」
I assume ぶったれてる is supposed to be ぶーたれてる

So the author is saying it's specifically holding back due to fear of getting dumped.
I don't know what a "slave of love" is and can't find any definition online so I can't judge the accuracy of that.

I'm with Robin on this. It's a simple expression and this gloss captures it.

I think the second and third glosses are just examples of 惚れた弱み.
