Hey Giulio
Some nice and potentially very helpful things:
A dharma talk on love, attachment and relationship by Susan Piver
Here...highly recommended. Very down to earth and honest talk, with some practical ideas and profound concepts to apply.
Two talks by Ram Dass on the dharma of love and relationship:
One and
twoAnd for my contribution to the wisdom above...
To be given the opportunity of a love relationship on the path is a deep blessing. IF you gather the courage to make it so.
If you want to practice the dharma, the fastest and most profound way to make progress is to include EVERYTHING in your practice. Forget renunciate-tasting Mahasi quotes. EVERY aspect of your life, from job to food to sex to finance to family to fitness to lover to pet...everything. It is a fiery way, sometimes very painful (we are confronting what we have habitually avoided), but if you approach the pain with courage and humility and a deep desire to grow, you will never look back.
The only difference between dharma without love relationships and dharma with love relationships is the intensity of the fears and desires that arise...in short, our deepest patterns and conditioning. Get into them with a passion for confronting every resistance and buckle up for entry to the dharma fast lane.
If you choose this path then it will serve you to have a practice that you're comfortable with. Some kind of body based mindfulness practice. My first vipassana course coincided with the ending of my first major love relationship so I can speak with some kind of confidence here. If you keep awareness grounded in the body throughout all emotional storms (light or heavy) and stay
relentlessly in the body, then rather astounding wisdom and freedom can result. But that willingness to do so requires two things - motivation and technique. Make sure to cultivate both!
I wish you the very very best.
