n this final qualifying work, research interest is focused on the study of the interaction of existential fulfilment and personal authenticity. We set ourselves the task of determining whether existential fulfilment in romantic relationships positively correlates with personal authenticity and whether there are significant differences in the level of personal authenticity between people who are in romantic relationships and those who are. After collecting the required number of observations and conducting qualitative and quantitative analyzes, we found that there are significant differences in the level of personal authenticity between people who are in a romantic relationship and those who are not. We also found that gender, age, and the number of years spent in romantic relationships do not play a significant role in the experience of existential fulfilment in romantic relationships. We also found that the higher is the subjective satisfaction with the relationship, the higher is existential fulfilment in the romantic relationship. Moreover, we discovered that the higher is an individual's authenticity, the higher is their existential fulfilment in romantic relationships. Thus, all of our hypotheses were confirmed.
