Understanding Fantasy Bonding
Fantasy bonding is a concept in psychology that refers to the bonds we create with potential partners or love interests. It involves being more attached to our idea of someone or their potential than the reality of who they actually are. Fantasy bonding originates from childhood, where we idealize our parents as perfect and rely on them for safety and security. As adults, we replicate this bond in our romantic relationships, creating an illusion of connection based on an idea of love or compatibility rather than the truth. Fantasy bonding can lead to situationships, emotional exhaustion, unrealistic expectations, and the masking of red flags. It is important to recognize and prevent fantasy bonding by spreading out dates, being honest about non-negotiables, avoiding rushing into labels, and maintaining a sense of independence.
