Five Stages Leading To Relationship Breakup Part 2

Exposure – both partners mutually become aware of the problems in the relationship. In Relationships, having problems with your partner equates to frustration, bitterness, regret and sadness. Are the problems that you are experiencing with your partner making your life difficult and depressing. I know this might be hard to believe but in relationships “winding off” the communication is so poor that spouses never talk about their problems. They become accustomed to holding everything inside, and only talk about their problems to others but not to each other.

Negotiation – both partners attempt to negotiate a solution to problems.  Negotiation is a dialogue between the two parties, intended to reach an understanding, resolve points of differences in their relationship, or gain advantage in outcome of dialogue, to produce an agreement upon courses of action to take from thereon. Negotiation is intended to aim at compromise. So, the two partners just decide to talk after holding things inside them. This is in a manner of “so what happens now”, with each trying to gain an advantage for themselves by the end of the process.

Resolution and transformation – both partners apply the yield of their negotiation. By this stage, excuses , pleas, promises and forgiveness have been given and accepted. Both partners agreement to work on their relationship is put into action. Partners  try to mend their actions that is destroying their relationship with a view to improving the relationship and hences stay together. They may perhaps have a plan to getting back on track, this plan is put into work and each partner honestly make efforts at staying together.

Termination – proposed resolution fails to rectify issues and no further solutions are accepted or applied. By this stage, the handwriting is seen on the wall, things did not workout as planned. Promises has been broken over and over again. Behaviours that destroy relationships are repeated over time such that there is anger, worry, dissappointment, guilt and regrets.At this stage, the mind is made up and there is no going back. One or both partners walk away.

Whatever relationship you are in presently, you need to examine the relationship vis-a-vis things happening in it. You may have gone through four of these stages over and over again without knowing. Now that you know, maybe it is time to call it quit if you are not getting what you want or hoped for. It is better than a heartbreak you know!

Coming Apart: Why Relationships End and How to Live Through the Ending of Yours

If you you want to know about relationship breakup, then you need to continue reading the articles. The article will explain things about relationship breakup and the stages leading to breakup. Usually, there are five stages leading to relationship breakup; dissatisfaction, exposure, negotiation, resolution and   transformation and finally, termination. At the end of this article, you will be able to know how to accurately analyse your relationship, so that you will know if and when your relationship is heading for the rocks. It may perhaps also be the time for you to change your perspective about that relationship you are into presently.

A relationship breakup, often referred to simply as a breakup, is the termination of a usually intimate relationship by any means other than death. The act is commonly termed "dumping [someone]" in slang when it is initiated by one partner. The term is less likely to be applied to a married couple, where a breakup is typically called a separation or divorce. During the dynamics of relationship breakup, there exists a "turning point", only noted in hindsight, followed by a transition period in which one partner unconsciously knows the relationship is going to end, but holds on to it for an extended period; weeks, months,  sometimes for a number of years.  Nearly one-third of all Americans have experienced a breakup in the past ten years. It is however not surprising that,  the younger the person, the more likely they are to have experienced more than one breakup in the last decade. This is because young people are more actively dating than older generations, though this may be changing with the growing divorce rate, and thus adults are breaking up more frequently as well. This makes breakups one of the more common emotional experiences in modern society.

There are five stages leading ultimately up to a breakup. The stages lead one to another:

Dissatisfaction – one or both partners grow dissatisfied with the relationship.  Many of us are dissatisfied in our love relationship. It's not that we are unhappy but we have days of vague discontent when we wonder, 'is this it'? Days when we wonder if we made a mistake in choosing our partner; moments of lingering misgivings on the suitability of our partner; and wondering if there is someone who would be a better fit for us than our current partner. The Break-Up

If for example you feel that your partner does not love you; what thoughts are going through your mind when you feel like that? What is the source of those feelings? Analyze what they have done or not done to make you feel that way.

 Sometimes your discontent may be as a result of unresolved issues that have built up over the years. You need to sieve the past from what you feel right now and urgently find a way to make peace with the past. If you need to talk to your partner about it. Sometimes your discontent may be because you have been with your partner a long time and you have begun to see only their negative attributes. When they say that 'familiarity breeds contempt', I suspect this is what they mean.

Arranged Marriage Part 2

Families use dowries to attract a son-in-law with desirable qualities, such as a particularly bright man from a poor but respectable family or a man with higher status but with less money than the bride’s family has. In societies in which the giving of dowries is customary, families with many daughters can become impoverished by the costs of marriage. For this reason, in Europe in earlier times some families sent “extra” daughters to convents. In India and China, where it is expected that every woman will marry, families have sometimes tried to limit the number of daughters born to them through infanticide (the killing of infants). An Arranged Marriage

In some societies, the groom’s family gives property (known as bridewealth or brideprice) not to the new couple but to the bride’s relatives. Particularly in places where bridewealth payments are high, the practice tends to maintain the authority of fathers over sons. Because fathers control the resources of the family, sons must keep the favor of their fathers in order to secure the property necessary to obtain a bride. The custom of giving bridewealth occurs primarily in parts of Africa, the Middle East, and Asia. Anthropologists characterize bridewealth as compensation to the bride’s family for the transfer to the groom’s family of the bride’s reproductive capacities or her ability to work. They debate whether the practice should be seen as the actual sale of a daughter or whether it is a ritual—that is, a symbolic act—rather than an economic transaction.

Although arranged marriage persists in many cultures today, as modernization proceeds and many areas become part of the global economy, parental influences on marriage continue to decline. Young people who work for wages rather than on the family’s land no longer depend as highly on their parents’ resources. As Western popular culture—including motion pictures, television, music, and fashion—spreads around the world, many young people are drawn to Western notions of love, romance, and individual choice. In some places, such as Japan, people combine modern Western and older cultural practices. (Un)Arranged Marriage

Marriage Quote

Mathew Carey wrote in the early 1800s that in his opinion men should always
treat their wives as equals, but today’s feminists would shudder at much of
his advice. He recommends that a woman should “study to discover means to
gratify [her husband’s] inclinations” in her cooking, her dress, and her manners,
and that she should “never attempt to rule, or appear to rule her husband.” Carey (1760-1839)
