The Psychology of Love: Exploring Contradictory Perceptions in Mr & Mrs FREUD

The Endless Fascination with Love written by the author Adrian Gabriel Dumitru

I’ve written countless books about love—about being in love, hating the concept, and even promising myself that I would never write about it again. But despite my attempts to distance myself from this intricate subject, I kept coming back to it, unable to resist the allure that love holds over me. After publishing 20 books of love essays, I had a serious conversation with myself, vowing once more to stop writing about love.

Why I Can’t Stop Writing About Love

No matter how much I tried to distance myself, I couldn’t escape the hold that love had on me. I was fascinated by everything that surrounds it—the euphoria, the pain, the mystery. Even when I knew that love stories often turn out to be illusions, capable of ruining souls and destroying lives, I couldn’t help but continue to explore the subject in my writing.

The Puzzling Nature of Love Stories

What intrigued me most about love was its inherent contradictions. I found it baffling that even when the love between two people is undeniable, they still manage to engage in psychological games that ultimately ruin everything. Why, even in the midst of love, do we do things that sabotage our own happiness?

Observing Relationships: The Absurd Games We Play

As I observed the couples around me, I began to analyze their dynamics. I noticed something curious: why do men and women, even when deeply in love, act in ways that jeopardize their relationships? Why do we engage in absurd games with each other, even though we know they will only cause pain?

The Paradox of Intelligent People and Irrational Behavior

What’s even more bewildering is watching intelligent people—those who should know better—fall into the same behavioral traps. Why do even those with a deep understanding of psychology continue to make the same mistakes? I’ve encountered countless individuals who could easily be labeled “Mr. and Mrs. Freud,” people well-versed in the psychology of relationships, yet they still become entangled in love’s foolish games.

Why Do We Sabotage Love?

The final question that haunts me is: why? Why do we sabotage love with such senseless actions?

I wish I had a concrete answer. Despite all my analysis, despite my endless introspection, I have not found a definitive solution. Yet, this has not stopped me from continuing to examine love, in hopes of uncovering some deeper truth.

The Endless Mystery of Love

Perhaps, in the end, there isn’t a clear conclusion to be reached. Maybe love is not something that can be solved, but rather something that must be endlessly explored. It is the mystery of love itself that intrigues me—the never-ending dance between love and the mind, between connection and conflict.

Chasing the Horizon of Love

And so, I find myself addicted to this subject, diving deeper and deeper into my essays, searching for an answer I know may never come. It’s like chasing the horizon, a futile pursuit, but one I can’t give up. I allow myself the freedom to be obsessed, to suffer through the contradictions and beauty of love.

The True Essence of Love

In the end, this may be where the true essence of love lies—in its ability to draw us in, even when we know better. In its power to make even the most rational among us behave irrationally. And in the endless, contradictory perceptions we form as we try to make sense of it all.
