relation_ships

Today in social psychology:
So talking about relationships… how funny every time this topic comes up a put my head down and automatically become just a little more sad.

We do we brake up? Funny questions…
But how do we go about with when things go wrong…

So theories, there are many, one of the ones discussed today was.
Dissolution of Relationships

Lee (1984) Stage Model – a process taking place over a period of time and not a single event.

- Dissatisfaction
- Exposure
- Negotiation
- Resolution attempts
- Termination

Alright not to hard to understand,
First someone doesn’t like the way things are going or something like that…
So then they say that, the whole problem becomes real, out to the world, people start talking… whatever we may call the situations…
Then the partners try and find ways, talk supposedly…
If things are maybe worth some trying, people, say well, they might try…

But not always things are resolved, nor both become satisfied, so…
Termination.

Yeah what even made me think more was the little added point.

Key finding – the strongest relationship took the longest time to work through the five stages of dissolution.

Yeah, so I think I have been in the middle of this process for hum a couple of years.
Considering everything I think the termination started for me now that his new life began.

People always say that when things die other’s are born.

hum, all very well, five stages of the Thing, interesting and words as such. but then it made ME wonder (my turn to play Carrie :P), how much of it is enough, how does a person know that his or her relationship is coming closer to a termination rather than a resolve. how long can it prolong in those attempts to patch things up and work through all the mess until both parties realize the end begins where they are standing. if we prolong it for years, is it really all worth it?

anyway, you have interesting classes. the only thing interesting in mine is counting the minutes for us to leave :P hehe

xary don't be like that, we have so many funny classes! we count the minutes because we are so desperate to get back home and study everything we've learned.
about the relationships..next time i feel that something isn't ok i will try to remember those 5 steps instead of scream or cry.

(sorry for the intrusion)
