In a society marked by volatility and fluidity, relationships are also being affected by those predicates. Love in modern society is liquid and virtual, attributes that cause individuals to keep loosened links in order to undo them quickly. Therefore, the present study sought to compare the speech of people aged between 20 and 25 years with people aged between 40 and 45 years. The methodology used was a qualitative research with the use of semi-structured interviews conducted with eight participants. Interpretation and understanding of the data obtained was made using Bardin's content analysis. We concluded that age is a relevant factor in considering relationships nowadays and that not all the people interviewed face such liquidity in relationships the same way.
