Love in a New Reality

Experts say that romantic relationships have changed dramatically in recent years. This is helped by the unpredictability of the world we live in and by a new information culture. When it’s unclear what tomorrow will bring, you involuntarily start thinking: why should I get seriously close to someone right now?

Psychologist Elena Novoselova will tell you:

— how romantic relationships and gender roles have transformed since the time of our parents;

— whether it’s normal to refuse relationships because of fear of responsibility;

— whether it’s true that nowadays it’s more comfortable to remain an individual rather than to create a couple—and, even more so, a family.

“Very often in recent years, I hear from young people that money and a career interest them much more than relationships—even more than sex. Relationships turn into a ‘pleasant addition’ to life, while the foundation becomes work, professional achievements, and self-development. Is this normal? Why does this happen? And will we return to the previous values? That’s what the lecture is about,” says Elena Novoselova.

Elena Novoselova is a psychologist with extensive experience, a consultant, a popular expert on family relationships, and one of the few who professionally specializes in men’s psychology. Author of books and host of her own projects on television and radio. Member of the Russian Psychotherapeutic League. A regular contributor to “Straight Speech.”
