Love life
Charlize Theron had to in therapy because of relationship with a narcissist
Charlize Theron currently doesn’t want a man and yes, she is happy. For a long time she attracted a certain type of men. That contributed to the decision.
In a recent interview in the US podcast “Call Her Daddy”, Charlize Theron openly spoke to the topic of partnership with host Alex Cooper Alex Cooper about her love life, previous relationship patterns and new perspectives. The actress showed herself very directly and reflected.
Charlize Theron explained that she is currently not striving for a long -term relationship and is instead in a phase of life in which she deliberately gets into relaxed encounters. “I was never anyone who really wants to jump from one thing to the next,” she said of her previous relationship history.
For Theron, however, this new freedom is not an expression of unwillingness to relationship, but rather a sign that it looks at interpersonal dynamics with more clarity. “It is not that I don’t want relationships, but I see things now how they really are. I no longer try to press a circle into a square – or whatever this damn American saying goes (…) but when I meet someone, I see where it leads.”

The 49-year-old explains her lifestyle: “One reason why I am not in a relationship is a combination of two factors. I don’t want what others have or live and if I am honest with me, then I have to understand that I don’t have the ability to have a healthy relationship and I had to take these two factors into account when I decided to become a mother. This is one of the healthiest decisions I have ever made.”
Charlize Theron criticizes the social handling of single women
Theron goes even deeper in her explanations and analyzes how women are treated: “In our society it is quick with single women: ‘Something has to be right with her, she can’t hold a man’, never to say it is part of the discussion: ‘Wow, she lives her truth, she lives her complete bliss, that has been her choice that she has made'”.
In retrospect, the Oscar winner confesses that she often attracted the wrong men: “I also put on narcissistic men, men who wanted me to treat them in a certain way.”
She compares the narcissistic relationship pattern with one that she knew from her parents’ house because her father was an alcoholic: “I died in therapy because of a long -term relationship that broke apart. In retrospect, I was often in relationships in which I had to behave as at home: protecting the other, protecting the other and trying to make him embarrassed because of his behavior, that it is not bad for me, that everything has been bad for me in I repeated my relationships.
The actress also reflects how she then acted: “Let my ego push me aside, maybe I am, maybe I should go (…) Actually I wanted to save this relationship, but in the end I saved myself. I could be almost grateful to the guy”.
The therapist also advised Charlize Theron to separate: “You should leave him, you are not the problem, other people were the problem in your life and you should admit it,” he said.
The need to avoid conflicts played a not inconsiderable role: “And if I didn’t do this, there were many conflicts – and I actually don’t like conflicts. People are always surprised that I don’t like conflicts, but if I have the feeling that I have to choose between conflict and give in, I will give in because I want to avoid the conflict.” A reason more simply to stay.
