Is romantic love an illusion?

Hi guys,

I’m reading a lot about ‘Love’ lately. Obviously the understanding of love and partnership changed a lot over time and also depends on different factors like cultural conext etc.
In the media, movies and so on the construct of romantic love is still so present though. Romantic love has probably different definitions. In my opinion a partner is not able to fulfill everything what the other person needs (best friend, always feeling close and intimate, great sex partner…).

What is ‘Love’/partnership for you? How do you cope with, that one person can’t be everything? What gets you through difficult times in a partnership when for example expectations are too high?

Thank you all
