1 Relationship Interview Student’s Name Instructor’s Name Institutional Affiliation Course Date
2 1. My interviewee had a two-year relationship with a former girlfriend that terminated a few years ago. After college, they started working in various places, drifting apart and breaking up. They were friends after the breakup, although not as close. 2. Their relationship seemed unique and irreplaceable. They believed they had something special and distinctive in each other, unlike everyone else. However, interdependence and disclosure needed to be improved. They were independent and did not share their deepest thoughts or feelings. Company, affection, and shared experiences were intrinsic joys of the partnership. They spent less time together as their work and other activities got busier, reducing their inherent joys. Lack of interdependence, disclosure, and interdependence ended the partnership. 3. My interviewee assessed the relationship partner's self-esteem as high. Their self- confidence and security helped ignite their attraction and maintain their connection. Insecurity, envy, and reliance were less likely when both parties had healthy self-images. Harmony helped them respect and support each other's differences, fostering trust and communication. They were not dependent on one other for affirmation or self-esteem. Therefore, their relationship was equal and partnership-like. Their confidence helped them grow together while maintaining independence, creating a strong and resilient friendship.
3 4. I interviewed someone who knew little about their partner's family. They rarely addressed their family, which didn't affect their relationship. However, my respondent noted that their partner's troubled relationship with their parents caused conflict. The partner's parents' ideals and expectations conflicted with the relationship, generating problems. 5. My interviewee and their partner had a strong foundation of similar beliefs, contributing to their initial attraction and long-term connection. Truthfulness, loyalty, and family were important to both, forming an emotional bond. They disagreed about work and life objectives, like any couple. These differences occasionally caused tension and arguments, yet they were possibilities for progress. Their relationship strengthened as they learned to communicate, compromise, and support each other's goals. Sharing beliefs and having different goals shows how adaptable and resilient a loving, committed partnership can be. 6. Positive and negative gender differences altered the relationship. My interviewee was more reserved and kept their emotions to themselves, while their companion was more emotional and opened up. This made communicating and understanding each other's needs challenging. Their partnership was balanced and harmonious since their differences complemented one another.
