After being involved in a long-term relationship, you have become increasingly dissatisfied with everyday interactions and are questioning your future as a couple. Using the relationship stages, describe how this relationship has likely progressed, where it appears to be now, and explain two possible paths forward for this relationship.
What will be an ideal response?
The ideal answer should include:
- This relationship has moved through the contact, involvement, and intimacy stages and now appears to be in the deterioration stage.
- One path forward would be to pause deterioration and seek repair. Through intrapersonal and interpersonal repair, the relationship may find a path to continue. If repair fails, the relationship would enter the dissolution stage.
- Another path forward would be to skip repair and go straight to dissolution.
