Intimacy & Connection

What constitutes success in love? Society says it’s how many years you stayed together. But calling a breakup—even after 32 years—a “failure” is unfair and damaging.
As a somatic sexologist, I hear it often: “I failed at love.” Yet divorce with mutual respect or losing a partner to death doesn’t erase the growth, depth, and transformation that happened.
True success in relationships isn’t duration—it’s how deeply you dared to be seen, how much love expanded your heart, and how profoundly it changed you. Jungian analyst Jan Bauer writes in Impossible Love: “What we call a ‘failed’ love affair may be the most successful event in a person’s life if it has furthered the development of the soul.”
Stop pathologising your heartbreak. Passionate, turbulent, or “impossible” loves—like Romeo & Juliet or Héloïse and Abelard—were once celebrated as great passions. Today we label them toxic.
You didn’t fail. You lived. You grew. That’s real success in love.
