Book 1: Let the Sky Fall - Book 2: Let the Storm Break No matter how deeply you care for someone, they won’t make you happy all the time. Romantic relationships, and love in general, are complicated. On a deeper level, you likely have some negative feelings, too (most people do). Your explicit feelings toward your partner - the ones front and center in your brain - might be mostly positive. These experiments also found that negative feelings are often implicit, meaning you may not even be aware of them most of the time. While research exploring relationships has long held this as generally true, these results offer the first empirical support for this idea. In other words, you can simultaneously love and hate your partner. In a set of 2014 experiments, researchers found evidence to suggest that thinking about romantic partners can provoke both positive and negative emotions.
