SILVA, Isabella Torqueti  and  OKAMOTO, Mary Yoko. Loving links in young adults: ruptures and separations. Vínculo [online]. 2020, vol.17, n.1, pp. 52-74. ISSN 1806-2490.  http://dx.doi.org/10.32467/issn.19982-1492v17n1p52-74.

Loving relationships and the search for a partner permeate people's lives troughout their journey, interfering directly in its subjectivity. However, cultural and social changes that were caused by the postmodern age have affected those choices, shifting people's priorities and causing several loving ruptures. For this reason, the current paper intends to investigate the notion of single young adults who are college students of a public university in Assis, that have already been through any loving rupture. This project also intends looking to understand what has generated the rupture and how these students experienced that. The data collection was done through semi-structured interviews which was recorded and subsequently, transcribed. The data was analyzed considering the regularities and singularities of the speeches, and the data discussion and interpretation was done according to the psychoanalytic theory. Therefore, it was possible to observe the predominance of love relationships with low affective investment, against an extremely big narcissistic investiment. For most of the young, to allow yourself to love other person means to take a bigger risk, assuming that this can generate frustration and lose the ideia of full satisfaction.

Keywords : loving links; loving ruptures; young adults; psychoanalysis.
