The Last 3 Stages of A Relationship

DETERIORATION

 

This is the stage of the relationship where conflict is starting and bonds are weakening. Arguments may come about more than often, along with petty issues that can lead to major confrontations. There beings to seem like, there is always something going wrong.  The realm of communication, between partners starts to break down and people beginning to become resentful toward one another.




REPAIR

 

This is the stage where individuals try and give it another shot. Individuals try and analyze what went wrong and how it can be solved; take on interpersonal communication.  They can take the steps in going to counselors and talk out their issues, with a third party present to mediate the two. This is the stage that one can basically refer to as make it or break it. If both individuals are open and ready to try something great can come about and they can be even stronger than they started. On the other hand, if one or both people are lacking in the will to try, then the relationship will not work out because there will  the two are not on the same page.


DISSOLUTION


This is the end.



Interpersonal separation starts; couple may not see/communicate with each other. Nothing is working out for the two individauls they are definitely not on the same page and it is just NOT working. There can be a spot of anger in resentment in this stage. Sometimes things can become public which can add unwanted fuel to the fire and create even more tension/stress. This stage can be labeled as Divorce.
