How over-idealising relationships can affect women’s lives
Mint Lounge | Stories of women, who over-romanticised their partners and relationships, and what they have learned.
Love has often been compared to a drug, due to the neurotransmitters and hormones that are released when a person begins falling in love. It can take you on an emotionally unstable ride in which you behave like an addict and ignore red flags.
Therapists reveal that although fantasising about future relationships is normal, women often disregard problematic signs with the expectation for the man to change.
“When women over-idealise men and relationships, they set themselves up for pain and discomfort. This can lead to fear of future relationships and emotional baggage,” says Kolkata-based psychotherapist Mansi Poddar.
