N2  - Based on a clinical case from psychotherapy, the authors, both psychologists, argue in this article the hypothesis that the anxiety of loss is organized, in certain non-exclusive subjects in their romantic and conjugal relationships, around the apparent absence of an object rendered unrepresentable due to early separation. They suggest that non-exclusivity, particularly among polyamorous individuals, reflects that the anxiety of loss is diverted or even condensed, and that engaging in serial relationships in one’s love life can sometimes be understood as a defense mechanism. This leads the authors, on the one hand, to consider non-exclusivity through the lens of hypermodernity and, on the other, to explore the specificities of therapeutic support tailored to the complexity of this type of anxiety
