Abstract

This study investigated the process of falling in and out of love in one individual over the course of three relationships that all ended in divorce. Specifically, the relationship dynamics during the processes of rapport, self revelation, mutual dependency and personality need fulfillment as described in Reiss' wheel theory of love are explored. In this case study, personality need fulfillment was found to be the key component in falling in and out of love.
