Nick and Morgan walked into their third therapy session of the month and still didn’t feel like it was working. They were having communication issues and didn’t know how to rekindle their relationship in their now busy schedules. Nick and Morgan have been in a relationship for three years. They met playing soccer and became lovers at first sight. Everything they did involved soccer, it was basically their life. Last year Nick tore his ACL and is no longer able to play the sport he once loved. Morgan however continued to play soccer. Since Nick wasn’t able to play soccer anymore he focused his energy on his career as a film writer. He is usually working late hours or is out of town at a film festival getting inspiration for his work. Morgan works but hates her job. She’s jealous that Nick gets to enjoy his job and is successful at it. She is upset that she doesn’t have that same experience at her workplace as he does at his. Nick is jealous of Morgan that she gets to play soccer every weekend while he can no longer play due to his injury. For this reason, Nick does not attend Morgan’s games to watch her play, and barely supports her at all. Nick and Morgan had very different upbringings. While Nick grew up as an only child, Morgan has three sisters who she is still in contact with multiple times a week. Throughout his childhood, Nick’s parents were busy and weren’t very talkative so he kept to himself majority of the time. On the other hand, Morgan was raised with
I observed three little boys playing and climbing on a slide. Nick, the little boy in the blue shirt and tan pants was climbing up the slide, using the steps and holding on to the wooden side to help him get to the top. He was grasping a wooden toy in his hands as he was climbing. There was another little boy climbing up the slide pushing a wooden toy as he went up the slide; the third little boy was climbing up the steps. When Nick got to the top of the slide he slid down really fast. The other little boys did not wait; they also slid down the slide. Nick ran from the slide to another area where a child was playing with a tower and cars. He did not talk to the child, but took the car he wanted and began to play with it and the tower. Nick
After reading the book, I ponder that Nick forfeits a respect to her as a adult’s perspective and I pity her whenever he shows such an attitude.
In the end of the movie, the interpersonal conflict was dealt appropriately, because both protagonists learned how to talk to each other and share their feelings, but it was a long process. The conflict in this movie escalated to the point that the couple communication style was quite aggressive “people who use an aggressive communication style tend to dominate conversations. They typically speak at a high or low pitch, and their tone of voice can be demanding” (Sole, 2011). Finally they realize that there is a conflict and work things out.

A few years ago Amanda dated a guy who loved to buy her gifts. However her personality did not like that. It wasn't that she didn't appreciate the gift but it was more that her independent side didn’t need someone, especially a male, to buy her anything. She could buy the purse herself. For instance, this young man had bought her a very expensive purse "just because." Amanda remembers returning home and being very disappointed that he had done this. She wanted to buy this purse herself. She didn’t want it to be bought for her or just handed to her. She felt that when someone did something like this for her that it's because they want to be better than her and or have her rely on them. Also because of her stubbornness she was very reluctant when it came to accepting that gift. In the end, she ended up secretly giving that purse to a friend and going to purchase that same purse herself. She did not tell the guy that she did this. But instead kept that to herself just so that she didn't upset him, or hurt him. Amanda let him think that that was the same purse he had given her. While it didn't affect her relationship directly she did allow her characteristics to effect her relationship indirectly when it came to her
