Your world can be a thorny place when relationships go awry. Maybe you are arguing with your spouse. Maybe you saw your boyfriend or girlfriend flirting with someone else.
Relationships are more like chemistry than physics.
There are often many factors involved in relationships problems. We bring all our past experiences and many expectations into our close personal relationships. A common mistake, however, is for people to involve themselves in intimate relationships prior to resolving major aspects of who they are or even past relationships. They seek to define themselves by their role within the relationship. This typically leads to feelings of uncertainty about the relationship as the simple roles do not adequately structure a whole identity.
