Can a psychopath fall in love and love?
As we have said before, a psychopath is not capable of love. However, they can establish romantic relationships which will be based mainly on convenience. For them, a relationship is based on satisfaction, complacency, and an increase in their own ego.
A psychopathic person rather develops an attachment relationship with the other person, which will be characterized by an avoidant attachment, and they will not be able to establish any kind of intimate relationship.
Can you have a relationship with a psychopath?
The lack of empathy and inability to express emotions of psychopaths is going to be one of the greatest difficulties that there will be when it comes to maintaining a relationship with them, since they will not be able to see the needs of their partner, nor will they be able to adjust their actions to the feelings of others.
Also, it is very likely that one of the basic points of any relationship, such as commitment, will not be fulfilled. This is because they are very impulsive people who always want to satisfy their desires, without caring about emotionally damaging the rest. Therefore, if despite being in a relationship, they want to have sex and be unfaithful to their partner, they will not hesitate for a second, because they do not consider how other people may feel in the face of said deception.
On the other hand, it should be borne in mind that these types of relationships often become toxic, where the psychopath wants by all means for his partner to develop a dependency on him.
In turn, the characteristic that characterizes them as aggressive, can lead to cases of gender violence, where the psychopath physically and verbally mistreats his partner if she does not comply with his demands or if he feels that he is going to abandon him.
