I was never sure if I could trust if the “if you love something let it be free” quote as either ingenious, or one of the most wrong things I’ve ever heard. Ending a relationship with someone you care about can include the same finality and sorrow as the death of someone close to you. All the things imagined and projected into the future, are no longer going to happen anymore. This experience played a major role in a recent chapter of my life and developed like a tiresome plot. For the sake of this reading, I will not choose to be an object of pity when it comes to sharing my story, but to explore the details of this conflict and how it has equipped me with skills and experiences to grow. To summarize, the two year relationship came to an end when I had discovered her with another guy at a party. While we had both been accepted to the same University, Elisa affirmed she was incapable of commitment during this point in her life; she had something else in mind and I no longer fit in the picture. Communication became scarce and the situation eventually became obscure with a sense of tension, antipathy, and uncertainty. In the meantime, I spent the aftermath rebounding and feeling depressed as Elisa had already moved and had clear interest in other members of our particular social circles. At the time Elisa’s interests in a relationship had shifted to something new. The reality is she slept with another guy, which indicated in my eyes characteristics of both selfishness and immaturity; and like me has values and obligations I can do nothing about to change. Yet, I had blindly accepted this and was willing to collaborate on the damage that had been done, for my interests remained in preserving a passionate relationship and maintainin... ... middle of paper ... ... break up which ended harshly can make it much more difficult to meet new partners and creates the potential ending result of becoming closed off and emotionally unavailable to things such as socializing, dating, and establishing relationships. Unexplained events have a superfluous emotional shock which generally tend to lead us to find a pleasant meaning to attach to it. Conclusion As a result of this course In my experience, one of the best ways to enable a relationship to have chance to work out in the future is to cook the facts and end it while leaving the door open for a later reunion. This is the time for both of us to change and grow, and if I am still around when the transition Elisa is going through and is finished as well, there is hope for the relationship soon. Mutual agreement for a direct engagement in an emotionally expressive and honest dialogue.
Finally, even though, for a long time, the roles of woman in a relationship have been established to be what I already explained, we see that these two protagonists broke that conception and established new ways of behaving in them. One did it by having an affair with another man and expressing freely her sexuality and the other by breaking free from the prison her marriage represented and discovering her true self. The idea that unites the both is that, in their own way, they defied many beliefs and started a new way of thinking and a new perception of life, love and relationships.
Throughout history, women have often been portrayed as inferior to men or considered the "weaker sex." As a result of these social assumptions, women have been fighting to dissociate themselves from this stereotype and gain their independence. John Steinbeck's "The Chrysanthemums" is a classic illustration of the frustration felt by a woman before she was observed as being more than just her sex.
As the time passed, it was clear to both of them that their relationship will not turn into a sexual one, but into something much more profound. He did not want it to be compromised by carnality. The urgent appetite they felt for each other could not be satisfied by mere adhesion to lust. They had to deal with their souls, hearts and minds, as well as their bodies.
Jim’s feeling of loneliness has a big impact on his view of Alena. If Jim met another girl that day on the beach, and who was not as attractive he would have acted very different. Jim was very vulnerable at that moment and needed som...
For her privacy, I'll refer to her as Rin. I was happy for the first few months, but the relationship became suffocating later on. Rin wanted my undivided attention at all times of the day. In addition, Rin had severe anxiety. My love for Rin slowly died and obligation took its place. I felt obliged to stay with her. It's nauseating that I felt this way, but what else could I do? I thought that I had to stay with Rin to keep her safe from herself. As a result, I stayed with her, not as a lover, but a caretaker. One evening with friends, Rin demanded we leave, for Rin didn't like that she had to share me. I couldn't deal with her distancing me from friends anymore. I called Rin and cut all ties between us and our mutual friends. I gave her neither chance for dialogue nor reprisal, just like Paul Neruda. In hindsight, I didn't love her. Because I am a loser who has no chance in love, I was more in love with the idea of a girlfriend. As a result, I didn't love Rin, I loved my girlfriend. If I had truly had feelings for Rin, I would've resolved my problems through dialogue, not by running away like a
I've heard that Savannah is living a happy life with Mark. They bought a house and are planning on starting a family. There have been times that I've wanted to call her, but I know our relationship would never be the same. She is a different person now and so am I. I've grown up. I've realized that relationships aren't always durable. I've learned that the people you love the most can hurt you the most. I’ve learned that sometimes you wake up and friendships are over. You are no longer a part of their life. You are now a part of their past. A fond memory. A distant thought. Whatever you call it, it is the past.
Elisa is clearly unhappy with her life but will not confront this unhappiness. She hides her emotions from her husband. Just like the rain that never comes to confront the fog, Elisa will never be able to change her position in life; she will always submit to her husband and be caged in a marriage with a man who shows very little interest in her as a woman. Their marriage will never progress and both individuals remain unhappy. Patriarchal thought is reinforced and Elisa will never have the life she wants.
A contrast in personalities is presented in the ways Frederic and Catherine are playing opposite roles in the relationship in the relationship. In a “normal” relationship between a man and a woman, the man is the one who takes care of the women and all that, but in this relationship it is reversed. Frederic is an ambulance officer for the Italian Army and Catherine is his nurse. Any time Frederic is injured, Catherine is there to help him out and care for him. Not only does Catherine take care of his physical state, but she also takes care of his emotional state. Whenever Frederic is feeling down, Catherine is there to cheer him up. Catherine maturely decides to make a commitment, to love someone who she knows does not love her back, and to take full reponsibility for her actions throughout, including the pregnancy that occurs (Hays-55).

Unfortunately, we entered circumscribing stage. During this stage, both of us tried to avoid something that can turns into arguments. Because of this reason, our self-disclosure become lesser since we avoided talking about things that we used to discuss together as we afraid that it will turn into arguments. Both of us were busy with our college assignment. This situation was very different than what we faced during our high school time. Outwardly, people see our relationship is okay but there are lots of problems that happened between us. Things got worse as we reached stagnating stage. Our overall communications lessens during this stage. Our conversations was about greeting and we just asked how both of us doing. This makes our relationship becomes weaker. I become frustrated with this situation since I want our old times together. It feels like all of our efforts to build this relationship just fall to the ground. Then, our relationship entered avoiding stage. She started to use study as a reason for not replying my text. I felt like she wanted to avoid me most of the times. It took 2 days for her to reply my text and we start to have big arguments during this stage. I tried to save this relationship but I have
