What is the "Infatuation" pattern of loving, according to Sternberg's Triangular theory of love?

What is the "Fatuous love" pattern of loving, according to Sternberg's Triangular theory of love?
|
Passion and commitment are present without intimacy. This is the kind of love that leads to whirlwind courtship, in which a couple make a commitment on the basis of passion without allowing themselves the time to develop intimacy. This kind of love usually does not last, despite the initial intent to commit.
|
|
What is the "Consummate love" pattern of loving, according to Sternberg's Triangular theory of love?
|
All three components are present in this "complete" love, which many people strive for, especially in romantic relationships. It is easier to achieve it than to hold on to it. Either partner may change what he or she wants from the relationship. If the other partner changes, too, the relationship may endure in a different form. If the other partner does not change, the relationship may dissolve.
