Discuss what relationships may be like without some of these aspects. Commitment: If commitment is not communicated between each individual, there will be no real loyalty or trust within the relationship. With that, the communication in the relationship will dwindle down to almost nothing. Knowledge: In a relationship, knowledge is important. Without this aspect, a connection with one's partner can be very difficult. Interdependence: Along with commitment, the lack of interdependence in a relationship can result in a disconnect between the two individuals. There is no support on a physical or emotional level. How might those relationships play out? With a lack of interdependence, commitment and knowledge, for most people the relationship will end short and will not make it very far. I feel it could also go the other way around as well. Either both parties are not seeing the issues, and it will end in the demise of the relationship, or both parties will realize the struggles they are facing and take action to work towards fixing the problems and moving forward. At what point are the relationships no longer intimate relationships? The relationship can be no longer intimate when one feels lonely or misunderstood. "It’s true that everybody needs alone time, often more than we get (more on that later in this chapter). On the other hand, there’s a point beyond which solitude becomes loneliness. In other words, we all need people. We all need to communicate" (Interplay). During the relationship when one feels lonely, they might feel isolated from their partner. This leads to deeper issues than surface level. "The costs of social isolation became prominent during the COVID-19 pandemic. Millions of people around the world were forced to isolate—some for months—without physical contact with anyone outside their household. Experts warned that the loneliness resulting from extended seclusion could in itself be a tremendous health hazard (Wright, 2020). I think hat Covid played a part in communication within relationships. We isolated and that, in turn, caused a lack of social interaction. Many essentially forgot how to have interactions with other people and the outside world. Even within friendships and relationships, there was more of a disconnect because no one was in person to talk to. This also adds to the previous aspect of feeling lonely and/or misunderstood with your partner and relationship as a whole. Interplay.
