This paper intends to learn and understand tensions in love, sexuality, and intimacy dimensions according to the experience of couples ranked in middle and low socioeconomic status, which inhabit in Santiago de Chile. Chilean society has gone through significant social and cultural changes that have had an impact on kinship forms, especially in couple relationships. From a phenomenological and hermeneutic perspective, life narratives and material collected from focus groups of men and women between 18 and 25 years old were analyzed. Results evidenced pressure and ambivalence in regards to the Chilean young's conception about the role of the other. Breakdowns in couple agreements, associated with conflict, dependence, and sexual desire involve in motion of regulatory strategies tending to minimize differences, either through communication, that might see through the other's inner world, or conflict avoidance, or the end of the relationship.
