Interpersonal Relationships in 'The Breakup'

Almost every relationship begins and ends following Knapp’s model of interaction stages whether people know of it or not. The 5 stages described in this model are noticeable in most every romantic movie. The movie Safe Haven is a perfect example of coming together as it clearly displays Initiating, Experimenting, Intensifying, Integrating and Bonding throughout the movie.

False Start is about getting that second chance that not everyone who is lucky enough to experience it with their better half. When you love someone you should fight to save the relationship and not walk away. Walking away does not solve anything and it could lead to dissatisfied assumptions, resulting animosity through one another. That’s from my understanding in reading this story. It’s a lesson to be learned and what comes with being with being seriously involved. When problems arise, couples should solve it together not separately.

It was quite obvious that this was a poisonous relationship. They were eventually going to brake up. They would argue over the smallest things such ad the lemons and dishes scene. They didn’t have shared leadership. They always gender differences. For example, Brooke asks Gary to bring home twelve lemons for her since they would be having company over that night. Before the company arrives, Brooke realizes Gary had only brought home three lemons. Brooke confronts Gary, saying “you got three lemons” and Gary replies with “What my baby wants, my baby gets.” Brooke, flustered, tells Gary she asked for twelve lemons and Gary asks, “Why would you want twelve lemons?” After finding out that Brooke wanted to make a twelve lemon center piece, Gary is confused and thinks it’s, stupid because that no one would even be eating the lemons. They continue to argue about the topic because due to their differences, they feel differently about the importance of a centerpiece. The gender differences between the two do not help contribute to the problem; Gary had not listened to what Brooke asked for in the first place. If small things like this were causing a big commotion, then you can only imagine how their future would look.

On a day to day basis it seems everywhere you go you see the stereo-typical “happy” couple whether it be them walking down the street, holding hands and laughing, or the couple out for a romantic candle lit dinner for two, showing off how happy they are to the whole restaurant to see, or there is always the date night couple sharing a large popcorn at the movies. Seeing these happy couples everywhere you go can get old quick, especially to the average single person minding their own business. I understand the feeling of being overwhelmed and pretty much annoyed by theses so called “happy- in love” couples. I thought this basically about every couple I saw my whole single career. Making comments like “ewe,

In other words, the couples determined to part with the social or self-imposed restrictions, will attempt to shed all inhibitions and delve deep into their well-hidden desires, sexual fantasies or rather, fetishes, even if this means they will have to deal with unheard,

One way the scene can be done is that they are at a café and the two people are a couple, did not see each other for a while and are arguing about their relationship and one of the couple is keeping a secret from the other. The secret could be one of the characters is cheating on the other or did something wrong in the society to which he or she doesn't want to tell. The feeling I want the audience to experience during the scene is guilt and sorrow for which never isolate someone and never push someone to tell their secrets for one should be truthful in a relationship. What I want the audience to think about as they leave is to never keep secrets that can hurt another in a way and another thought the audience might think as they leave is to never pressure someone to tell you everything about them for one might keep it a secret for a reason.

A hushed couple sits in their home, surveying the cheerful scene. As they sit in a fashion both separate and united, one can notice subtle details indicating their relationship.

Context is defined as, “Everything that affects a relationship outside of the couple and their interactions; includes side of couple and their interactions; includes physical, social, cultural, and historical elements” (Ch.11 Bradbury, T. N. & Karney, B. R. (2014). In relation to intimate relationships, these interactions can have a greater impact on the relationship than a platonic friendship. The Bradbury and Karney describes the implementation of these ideals by focusing on the couple’s environments, those that are closely aligned with the couple directly. Living conditions being closely involved with the couple, versus global conditions, which may or may not a have a direct effect on the couple, the interactions that have an immediate impact on a couple can determine the satisfaction or success of the relationship. Relationships are the foundation of human interaction, the content and dynamics of a relationship and the individuals involved depicts human nature and an understanding of human life and conflict.

Relationships and self-presentation dictate the interactions we have with one another on a daily basis. How one presents himself can lead to the forming of new relationships. Sometimes a new relationship can be drastically life changing. In this lesson’s short story, “Sample Relationship: Curtis and Brenda”, two college students go from being classmates to lovers. How this transformation occurred can be identified through their actions provided in the text.
