It's a match - Bloom #19
Today, whether we like it or not, most people are in a relationship or are looking for a relationship (even the sociologist Jean-Yves Wauthier says so). Without being in the caricature of a good old Disney from the 90's where Prince Charming saves his beautiful in distress to make her a string of children and be happy until the end of their days, the idea of the couple is a kind of goal in the head of many people - even in a small corner.
And at the same time, the idea of true love has everything to seduce: a life partner with whom to share absolutely everything - affection, intimacy, listening, comforting, regular sex. It can be appealing.
But what if these different functions traditionally attributed to the couple were actually something that could be found in many different people? In different places? At different times?
Is the couple a fantasy of our society or should love finally be written in the plural?
