Explaining ambivalence as a normal and healthy lived-in experience is minimal. Past studies have been conducted mostly in the West and have been considered as not normal or acceptable. Few exceptions from India in the intergenerational context have been studied. Thus, the present study aims to unfold the complexity of ambivalent experiences in the context of romantic relationships. Close relationships cannot function independently of society, which thus creates inconsistencies in one's thoughts and emotions. These inconsistencies and unwillingness to follow the expected norms, status, and culture, which, when violated, can be conflicting, and thus, managing both can fuel ambivalent experiences. The present study attempted to redefine ambivalence, and explore various facets. The study followed a qualitative approach and used semi-structured interviews to collect in-depth data from a total of thirty (n=30) young romantically related adults. The age range was 20 to 35 years were interviewed in Delhi NCR . The transcripts were analyzed, and a model was developed to explain the process of ambivalence using the Grounded theory approach. The study used the cognitive, affective, and behavioral facets to develop the model, and redefined the notion of ambivalence among romantic relationships. A significant finding in the study was that ambivalence is not a dichotomy or a polarized experience but a cycle. The model depicts how ambivalent individuals find ways to deal with ambivalence by using various coping strategies rather than opting for termination. Various limitations and further directions have also been discussed.
