RELATIONSHIPS

Life is a series of relationships with our environment and everything in it. This includes other human beings and creatures.

Whether we like it or not we are primates and this means that we are closely related to the Apes and monkeys. All live in social groups and within the groups there are sub groups and one to one relationships. Human beings also have similar social needs and relationships. So in order to survive as the human race, like the Apes it’s vital in order to be successful that we are able to form relationships. In the human species we are attracted to another human being and generally one to one relationships occur.

In many cases two people join together emotionally and spiritually. This is often termed falling in love. In most cases this so called love includes infatuation, sexual attraction and at the deepest level/s genuine affection or love.

When two people enter a relationship they commit themselves to investing trust in each other and often disclose very personal information.

Successful one to one relationships are a compromise a partnership of giving and receiving. The degree that we do this depends upon the depth and commitment both partners put into a relationship.

Problems arise often because after a while complacency comes into being, one or other of the partners takes more than he or she is willing to give and then sometimes the partners grow apart.

Eventually this can lead to separation or finding other partners and there is often stress, unhappiness, insecurity and bad feelings.

The whole field of human relationships has so many different aspects and many of them lead to break-ups heartaches, sadness, distress, rejection and other painful emotions and situations.

So in addition to the successful happiness and contentment in some relationships there is also lots of pain and even illness caused by break-ups and the stresses that this puts on both ex partners.
