This question is less interesting when in context of how we normally think about loved ones, being that they are around for most of your life.
When you immortal that’s no longer the case, you’ll eventually have a relationship with loved ones similar to a person who has had countless pets over the course of their life. The love a person holds for their pet is real, but it isn’t exactly the same as “the love of your life”.
Forever is a long time yo.
The real interesting question is after a century or two, when you start treating your lovers like an old man on his tenth dog.
I’m going to go on a different angle on this one and say that we are much tougher on sexual harassment. I feel like a lot of people from the 1950s who have grown up on pulp sci-fi like Flash Gordon could accept a lot of modern technology and the internet as basically just magic. To be fair is how a lot of modern people also accept it. But I don’t think they would be able to process the move towards egalitarianism that we have taken.
That is not to say that modern society is egalitarian only that we have made good strides in achieving that aim.
Edit: Turns out Gordon is from the '70s, but other pulp sci-fi exist so my statement stands.
What word your looking for is a shibboleth, which of course is itself a shibboleth.
