I've often noticed that when 2 people fall in love, they appear to regress back to little babies. They snuggle up, look into each other's eyes, murmur sweet nothings, why they even call each other "Baby"! Plus they go all orally focused just like babies.
So is falling in love a "Going back"? Is this why so much romantic love fails, because one of the babies re-grows into adulthood again and wants more independance? Or does it fail because one of the babies wants to stay a baby even if it means finding a new partner to re-ignite that gooey kissy experience once more?
