The present article describes the different dynamics present in romantic relationships through life stories. Adopting a qualitative approach, it retrieves the experiences of 7 participants belonging to the LGBT+ community regarding their romantic relationships through individually conducted semi-structured interviews. The results reveal that from the early romantic and/or sexual experiences, manifestations of aggression arise and then evolve into more serious forms such as intimidation, harassment, and distrust towards the partner. This suggests that violence is not exclusive to heteronormative relationships but also affects couples within sexual dissidence, often in a context of social and emotional vulnerability.
