Why does someone go into debt for love?
According to Valéria Meirelles, psychologist and author of books on the topic of money, some people mask the true financial reality because they want to adapt to others, especially at the beginning of a relationship.
“The initial phase of passion influences reason and makes the person appear much more emotional, coming to believe that any effort to seduce one’s partner is worth it, including asking for a loan,” he says in a note released by Serasa.
Valéria also highlights the importance of being aware that passion is short-lived and that, during the idealization period, one tries to show oneself at one’s best to others, even if one is not capable of doing so. “However, a more stable relationship can only be established if the couple talks about money from the beginning, starting from basic situations: if you cannot go to a more expensive restaurant or have a specific budget for a gift, for example” , she recommends.
