Describe a scenario which would serve as an example of pseudo reconciliation
What will be an ideal response?
Sam and Jenny separated due to Sam's drinking habit. Two months later, after much thought, Jenny felt that,other than his drinking habit, Sam was a good husband. She felt that she never really gave him a chance to change and got back together with him to try and make the marriage work.But they separated six months later as all the previous issues came back.
This is an example of pseudo reconciliation. In the midseparation phase, the pressures of maintaining two households and meeting the children's emotional and physical needs mount, and stress intensifies. Because of such problems, as well as feeling guilty over breaking up the family, the couple may experience a "pseudo-reconciliation" and move back in together. The reunion rarely lasts. Soon the underlying problems that led to the separation in the first place surface again, conflicts reemerge, and the couple separates again.
