futrures markets in love
Consider, for example, our level of interest and attachment in romantic and business
relationships. Early in such relationships we tend to over-estimate how much we like our
partners, and the chance we will remain together (Tennov, 1979). Late in such relationships,
however, we tend to under-estimate these things. Both of these self-deceptions follow our
interests; early on we want to convince others to invest in us, while later on we want them
to think we will leave if not treated fairly.
