I identify with falling prey to the pitfalls of the worst aspects of both the rational and primal ways of loving someone. One thing that helps me is to pay attention to how I feel after interacting with a person and log these events so that I can revisit them later. I find the exercise prevents idealization and helps keep me grounded in reality.
