TMI Tuesday: How’s It Going–You Know, Your Relationship?

1. How did you realize an important relationship (romantic, friendship, business) was over? What was the pivotal moment or statement?
Hmmm…one I remember best was a very, very good friend of mine. He had gotten married, and I was friends with his wife, but not nearly as good of friends as with him. They ended up getting a pretty ugly divorce, but he stayed away because “his wife needed me more.”  It was a weird situation, and I realized then that we weren’t really ever going to be friends again.

2. Relationship strategy–do you have one? Share.
Hmmm….no, I can’t say that I really do.

3. Name two things you appreciate about your current relationship. Why are these things significant? (If not currently in a relationship, feel free to refer to your best relationship)
That I am loved, and that I’m cared for. I think they’re significant because if you don’t feel either, there really isn’t much of a relationship.

4. In your relationship, do you compromise:?
a. a little
b. never – I usually get my way
c. too much, it helps keep the peace
I would say a) a little. There always has to be some compromise.

5. If you went to couple’s therapy, which of these are you most likely to have a need to discuss:?
a. My significant other feels more like a roommate.?
b. Sex is uncomfortable.?
c. My partner doesn’t know what I like in bed.?
d. “Forget sex! We barely touch.”
Hmm…I have no idea. Maybe a)?

Bonus: Below is a list of extreme sports. You must pick one sport to try. Why would you do that sport?
1. skydiving
2. volcano diving
3. zip-lining through a jungle
4. bungee jumping
I’ll pick 3) zip-lining through a jungle. Why would I do this one? I’d never skydive – I’d probably have hysterics on the way down. Same for bungee jumping. I don’t know much about volcano diving, but…volcano. I’m actually going to try something like zip-lining through the jungle next summer – something like it is on our itinerary, and I think it actually sounds like fun.
