Editor's Notes
- #4 It is often cited, however, rarely as the sole source of conlict. Also, it is usually based on how it is managed, not necessarily that there is not enough. (Though younger relationships sometimes site the lack of resources)
- #5 What problems do you think young marriages experience?
- #12 Before we start, it is important to note that complaining is not predictive of divorce. We ALL complain. The key here is the severity and length of complaining
- #13 Before we start, it is important to note that complaining is not predictive of divorce. We ALL complain. The key here is the severity and length of complaining
- #14 Before we start, it is important to note that complaining is not predictive of divorce. We ALL complain. The key here is the severity and length of complaining
- #15 Communication tends to focus more on insults, sarcasm, and mockery. It creates the feeling of coldness, distance, and detachment.
- #16 Denying and responsibility for difficultiesCounter-complainingWhiningAccusationsMind-reading (You don’t care how you make people feel)
- #17 Men mostly do this. Bu essentially, we cut off all communication, basically giving up.
- #18 be careful to be kind when complainingYour complaints will come across negative if notDon’t push your advice, instead, ask if they want it “How can I help.”Even when you are moody, do not deny emotional expressions like kisses and hugsBe sure to acknowledge what they bring to the relationshipWhen things get awkward, be sure to bring it back to the positive (joke, smile, apologize)Find a way to get some alone time, especially if you have kids and a busy job.
- #19 During the initial stages, we begin to focus and ruminate over our partner’s negative characteristics.We start looking for justifications to break upExample My friend began obsessing about how her BF was slow to reply to her texts and often would not return her phone callsThis begins a cycle of negativity we can no longer think positively of the person.
- #20 During this stage, we begin to communicate our negative thoughts toward each other.Complaining increases, tends to be on characteristics, not situationalExample My friends began fighting all of the time. Mostly about how they wanted the other person to act (relational rules)
- #21 During this stage, we “air” our differences to those outside of the relationship to seek social or emotional support.We often try to save positive face.Example My friend called me to complain about her BF
- #22 Your friends will still resent the other, even if you forgive him or her.Example One of my friends complained that his girlfriend was controlling and would not let him have fun with his friends. Later that week, they made up, but all of his friends, myself included, stopped supporting their relationship.
- #23 During this stage, the individual focuses on coping with the break upBegin to create narratives or stories to make sense of the break upFace Saving, especially to find a new partnerExample “There is more to our break up than just that. He had a lot of issues and I just could not help him through it.”The narratives differ depending on the audience:My friend might tell me he is struggling and he misses her, but tells another female that it was no big deal.
- #24 The final, “getting over it stage”. You have reframed the relationship as a growing momet.You have moved from anger to acceptanceYour narratives save face for not only you, but your ex.Example She made me realize that I can be happy“I am leaving the relationship a better person”“She was a great girl, I know she will make someone incredibly happy.”
- #25 Not supported by the researchWe often move in and outWe often skip steps
- #26 This theory suggests that relationship more than likely will end suddenly with little or no warning.Even with the warning, most people do not detect it.Break-ups almost always are ended by an unplanned critical incident I.E. InfidelityOther times, the break up just happens.
