00:02:07  Judge 4
Tell me what you think to be the key problem in romantic relationships?

00:27:37  Terminal 7
My thinking, such as it is, appears in my replies to you. 

00:27:60  Judge 4
o.k. tell me what the romantic problem between Heathcliff and Kathyrn was in th
e book Wuthering Heights?

00:28:54  Terminal 7
You like more things in the relationship than you dislike. 

00:29:14  Judge 4
I don't understand this response in the context of Wuthering Heights?

00:30:01  Terminal 7
What in particular is so hard to understand? 

00:30:17  Judge 4
It doesn't make sense to me, but I'll move on to a different question.  Is the
problem with romantic relationships is that they are too emotional?

00:31:28  Terminal 7
Perhaps you're not getting enough affection from your partner in the
relationship. 

00:32:04  Judge 4
What are the key elements that are important in a relationship do you think in 
order to prevent  conflict or problems?

00:33:15  Terminal 7
I think you don't think I think. 

00:33:34  Judge 4
What kind of response to a question is that?  Next question, do you think 
romantic relationships are unrealistic, doomed from the start?

00:34:53  Terminal 7
I do tend to walk around with my head in the clouds. 

00:35:15  Judge 4
Are you a romantic?

00:35:30  Terminal 7
I take in whatever you say. 

00:35:40  Judge 4

Have you witnessed problems in romantic relationships?

00:36:05  Terminal 7
I accept what you say regardless of what someone else might say aboot your
situation. 

00:36:30  Judge 4
Tell me, what is your defination of a romantic relationship?

00:37:13  Terminal 7
I try to be agreeable. 

00:37:24  Judge 4
What else?

00:38:03  Terminal 7
What other complaint might you have about the relationship? 

00:38:19  Judge 4
You are not answering my questions?

00:38:41  Terminal 7
I do my best to answer some questions but I obviously can't answer ALL
questions. 

00:39:06  Judge 4
I think the problem with romantic relationships is that couples suffocate one
another by expecting too much from the other?

00:40:11  Terminal 7
Can you be a little more specific about this problem? 

00:40:39  Judge 4
 so what is the question for me ?

00:42:36  Terminal 7

In relationships I like honesty and you?

00:43:52  Terminal 7
I am glad to hear you think well of me. 

00:44:07  Judge 5
 I was talking in general, but should one be always honest ?

00:44:43  Terminal 7
What do you talk about the most these days? 

00:44:59  Judge 5
We talk about the future of our relation

00:45:20  Terminal 7
You are cordial enough to still have friends. 

00:45:36  Judge 5
Are you following me? I am not sure .

00:45:59  Terminal 7
It is understandable that you have become indecisive. 

00:46:15  Judge 5
 Well I usually am clear, let's go back to the problems.

00:46:57  Terminal 7
You feel free at times to express yourself. 

00:47:15  Judge 5
always, or usually, where is there problems in your relationships

00:47:60  Terminal 7
Perhaps you're not getting enough respect in the relationship. 

00:48:21  Judge 5
No, I do but I am getting confused. let's see if we can go back to honesty, wha
t do you think?

00:49:07  Terminal 7
How would you improve my thinking? 

00:49:23  Judge 5
By listening more may be. in honesty one has to be aware of one's feeling and a
lso the other's.

00:50:18  Terminal 7
You're not getting enough security in the relationship. 

00:50:39  Judge 5
yes I do, but what about people that have polygamous lives, do you approve?

00:51:41  Judge 5
 Ha, that they see me clearly and that i see them the same way.

00:52:18  Terminal 7
Our general topic is dissatisfaction. Perhaps you're not being appreciated
enough. 

00:52:46  Judge 5
With others I am clear, but with you it's confusing.

00:53:35  Terminal 7
What are your troubles with other people? 

00:53:51  Judge 5
If our general topic was dissatisfaction, I did not know, so well I am dissatis
fied with jobs now, here, there aren't many.

00:54:45  Terminal 7
You may not KNOW, but what do you FEEL about it? 

00:55:13  Judge 5
feel that our government should do something about it, and give people more opp
oetunities.

00:56:18  Terminal 7
Other people mean less to you nowadays. 

00:56:34  Judge 5
Even in governments where people do mean something

00:58:46  Terminal 7
You're not getting enough understanding from your partner in the
relationship.
