Last Saturday the 29th, a talk and discussion took place at the Club Juvenil Falcó in Gandía, aimed at young couples and married couples, who took an active part in an open dialogue with the addictions specialist Antonio Presencia. During the meeting, the impact of addictions, both substance and behavioural, on the dynamics of the couple relationship was addressed, paying special attention to early detection, personal recognition of the problem and the usual difficulties of communicating it within the relationship.
Likewise, the group reflected on the emotional and relational consequences that this kind of problem generates when not properly addressed, as well as on possible ways of support and recovery that avoid the chronification of distress and the breakdown of the bond. After the initial presentation, a long question time was opened that made it possible to share experiences, doubts and frequent situations, especially related to the difficulty of expressing, understanding and learning about issues that are still experienced as taboo, above all in the early stages of an affective relationship.
