It is often said that all good things come to an end. Relationships come and go, and some mean more than others. In fact, there was even a relationship model developed by a communication researcher by the name of Mark Knapp. In his model, he goes through what seems to

The second half of the relational model is called the “coming apart” stages, which consists of: differentiating, circumscribing, stagnating, avoiding, and lastly terminating. During the differentiating stage the relationship will start to be more individual, it will start to fade and the bond will be broken. After that comes the circumscribing stage during which the individuals won’t communicate because of the fear of starting an argument. The stage where relationships never improve or continue is called stagnating. After this point the individuals enter the avoiding stage, where the avoid any physical contact

Describe and evaluate two or more theories of the formation of romantic relationships. One theory of the formation of a romantic relationship is one put forward by Byrne and Clore called the reward/need satisfaction model. They suggested that we have relationships long term because we find them rewarding, or we don’t like the prospect of being alone.  The rewards from a partner can include friendship, love and sex, or the particular person is associated with pleasant situations so then we want to spend time with them and form a romantic relationship. This can also include the satisfaction from a relationship with a person of high social status, as it would make you look good to other people. These needs can differ from person to person

They are neither early nor late boomer as they are of the average age when they entered the relationship. The couple is in Phrase 3 of Romantic relationship because they had discussed what would happen to their relationship when Will moves out the house and attend a university. I can infer that Will and Jada are in Late-Adolescence stage as their relationship is based on love. Their relationship is secure attachment because they appear to trust each other and Will felt comfortable sharing his feelings with Jada by talking to her when he feels upset. The positive outcome from this relationship that they have strong communication and trust as they felt comfortable expressing to each other. They may also have successful long-distance relationship if they end up choosing different university. The negative outcomes from this relationship that their relationship can fail if one of them have a huge argument and couldn’t come to compromise. Also, if the couple ends up taking different path, the relationship could collapse due to the differences of their experiences. Upon breaking up, it can be nasty because they had been together long enough and had emotional attachment to it. On the other hand, they may have a peaceful break up if they found themselves growing

The couple I’d decided to interview, was my RA and her boyfriend. However, I’d change the name in order to keep both individual anonymous. Further the couple names is Rachael and Steven, they have been dating for three years. The couple meet at a game. However, they did not start to date right away, but they talk for a few month before making it Facebook official. The couple are in the 20s. Both live in Pennsylvania on campus Rachael is a RA and Steven works in the library. Both attend different college, and are looking to graduate next year. Rachael plan on furthering her education and obtaining her master degree. Whereas, Steven plans on working right out of college and hoping to move out of his parents’ home shortly after. Therefore, when this was brought it felt like it was the first time they have talk in depth about each other future plans. Meaning it seem like it was something that was new to them and not something that was talk about recently. Rachel stated that she always wanted to get her master degree and that she hopes for their relationship to continue to grow. Whereas, Steven plan changes a couple time since they started dating, from wanting

Due to the rather troubling nature of the relationship discussed in this study, the subjects of the interview will from here on out be referred to by the pseudonyms Riley and Caleb.

Social Exchange theory is the best theory for explaining the actual relationship between Tom and Summer. They both feel a great reward in spending time with each other, which causes them to spend more time together. At first the mutual cost and effort of their relationship, is of lesser value than the rewards they receive. When Tom and Summer spend more time with one another, they are able to receive more affection, attention, and become closer to each other which is rewarding to them both with little cost or effort. Tom feels happy because he begins to break down her walls, so to speak, which is an increase in the perceived closeness that they have. Summer enjoys the time spent together, and the attention received from Tom.

Fairy tales tell us that once upon a time a girl met a boy; they fell in love, and lived happily ever after. Reality is not that simple. Long-term relationships force couples to get to know each other, involve themselves in each others’ worlds, fight through the hard times, and eventually develop deeper connections as noted through distinctive stages of Knapp’s relationship model. Although I have dated the same person for over two years, our communication through relationship stages makes it seem as though I am now dating a different person than the one I met years ago. Following dissolution and subsequent repair, I realize the most exhilarating of roller coaster rides develop through sets of ups and downs, much like the

The first relationship dialect I will discuss is autonomy/connection. This illustrates how in relationships that we value spending time together to connect in a more in depth way. I experienced this in many of my own and others relationships. There are times when we enjoy spending time with our significant other, however; we do not want to spend every waking second with them. Many people value their independence and prefer to find a middle ground so they can spend some time together and also spend time with other people or by themselves. One example with an ex-girlfriend was that we would spend every weekend together and eventually we did not continue to connect with each other. We did not have any deep conversations and it would mostly be small talk that was not meaningful. With the relationship ending up this way I tended to value time alone to just think if my needs were met and if I was just acting appropriate or immature. I enjoyed

In his letters, Joyce himself has said that Dubliners was meant “to betray the soul of that hemiplegia or paralysis which many consider a city” (55). The paralysis he was talking about is the paralysis of action. The characters in Dubliners exemplify paralysis of action in their inability to escape

Here I am again, alone, hurt and feeling ashamed, was all I could think of as I sat next to the fire place while the TV watched me. My mind was now racing and my head began to hurt from my thoughts and the three stitched I now have on the right side of my forehead right above my eye. I couldn’t help but think that not only have I slept with an unavailable man for the past two years but I have also lost a friendship that I know will never and could never be mended. I can’t believe I have gotten myself in this situation. I never meant to have a serious relationship with Justin but it happened. I thought about the night I met Justin. I had just moved to the city and went to a boxing fight party that a friend was having. When I saw Justine, we were instantly attracted to each other. He was nice and charming and well dressed. He smelled so good and I knew he wanted me. We talked almost the entire night and by the end of the night I didn’t want to deny myself. I could tell the way he kissed my neck while I was leaning against the wall that he was going to be a pleaser and a keeper. I had no intentions on sleeping with him again but he was so delightful, smooth, charming and educated, I couldn’t help myself. The way he kissed my lips then kissed my lips I felt like he was inside my body and my head and he knew what I wanted and he knew how to have my noise open. We pleased each other for several months when he told me he was married, I immediately wished I had not
