When we are disillusioned by someone who is close to us we are not only profoundly disappointed in that person, but the very foundation of our existence comes into question. This article offers a phenomenological analysis of the experience of being disillusioned by a significant other. It examines the ground and the nature of this disturbing experience and gives particular attention to the ways in which people attempt to come to terms with it. In many cases, disillusionment, however painful, provides the impetus for the development of a clearer sense of self and a more sober assessment of how much others can contribute to the meaningfulness and direction of one's life
