According to the attachment theory, adults are characterised, in their romantic relationships, by one of three styles.
These are:
- Secure lovers
People who find it easy to get close to others and are comfortable having others feel close to them
Mutual dependency in a relationship feels right
They do not fear abandonment - Fearful or avoidant lovers
Uncomfortable feeling close to another person or having that person feel close to them
It is difficult for them to trust or depend on a partner - Preocupied or anxious-ambivalent lovers
Want desperately to get close to a partner but often find the partner does not reciprocate the feelings
They are insecure in the relationship, worrying that the partner does not really love them
