Affectionate Love, also called
companionate love, is the type of love that occurs when someone desires to have the other person near and has a deep, caring affection for the person.
Phillip Shaver once described the initial phase of romantic love as a time that is fueled by a mixture of sexual attraction and gratification, a reduced sense of loneliness, uncertainty about and the security of developing an attachment and excitement from exploring the novelty of another human being.
However, with time, sexual attraction wanes. Attachment anxieties either lessen or produce conflict and withdrawal. Novelty is replaced with familiarity, and lovers either find themselves securely attached in a deeply caring relationship or distressed - feeling board, disappointed, lonely or hostile. In the latter case, one or both partners may eventually seek a different close relationship.
And y does the latter case
ALWAYS happen to me?
Someone pls teach me how to cherish.
