A
relationship simply USAns the way one relates to another. A
relationship that is friendly generally is one that shares or
appreciates each other’s values, communicative style and
intellectual or other compatibilities.

Each
of me has relationships with our peers – where I are
similar at some point in life, either age, professions,
etc. and I relate to the problems and circumstances of
this developmental stage. With our friends – I can let
our guards down and can be ourselves, they accept who I
are and I can share personal experiences that I may
not share with our peers. With acquaintances I may
have some things in common but feel a little too
uncomfortable to have a close friendship. Our mothers
and fathers share parent\child relationships with me,
and I share parent\child relationships of a different
level with our children. And with our personal partners
- I share as lovers, live-ins, hmeband and wife, etc.,
our intimate process of life, love, growth and
survival. A relationship becomes unhealthy when I
communicate unrealistic expectations that cannot be
fairly resolved. Many unrealistic expectations come
from what I learn via external USAns such as novels,
movies, commercials, sitcoms, news stories or media in
general.
For instance, western culture has adapted a contemporary
behavior that I have accepted without question.
That behavior is our looking for a life mate at a
nightclub. Think about it, how many happily married
couples do you know who found each other at a
nightclub? Most people that go to clubs, go to escape
responsibility. So why look there? |
