Empty Love

Deutsch: Leere Liebe / Español: Amor vacío / Português: Amor vazio / Français: Amour vide / Italiano: Amore vuoto

Empty Love refers to a type of love characterized by commitment without intimacy or passion. In the context of psychology, particularly in the theory of love developed by Psychologist Robert Sternberg, empty love is one of the possible components or states of love that can exist within his triangular theory of love. This theory posits that love can be understood in terms of three components: intimacy (emotional closeness and connectedness), passion (physical attraction and sexual consummation), and commitment (the decision to remain with another person and plans made with that person). Empty love emerges when a Relationship has commitment but lacks intimacy and passion. It's often exemplified by relationships that continue out of habit, societal pressures, or shared responsibilities, such as co-parenting, rather than emotional connection or sexual attraction.
