We will address aspects related to the role of love and romantic relationships in healthy mental development. Unhealthy forms of romantic relationships will be presented, their impact on an emotional level and how they are often a denunciation of serious narcissistic weaknesses that, defensively, present themselves behaviorally at opposite poles, generally in dominant/dominated dynamics. A reading of current relationships will be presented, relating it to the lack of possibility of commitment linked to an inability to tolerate frustration and a consumerist side of oneself and others, where eroticism loses its place.
