HONESTY AND RELATIONSHIPS Being honest in life can lead you towards a lot of success in your relationships. How though does being brutally honest lead to better relationships? In the book, Me and Earl and the Dying Girl, the friendships between Greg, Earl, and Rachel strengthen because they allow each other to be open and truthful with one another.

During this past week's class we discussed relationships and what we think of as a “healthy relationship”. When I first discovered that we had to take a love language quiz and fill out a healthy relationship I was confused and a little irritated because I didn’t understand how those things would help me, or why that even mattered in the first place. After taking the quiz and filling out the worksheet I wondered what was going to happen after, I actually thought that the results from the quiz and what we said on the worksheet was going to be used to match us with others in the program, but I soon realized that wasn’t the case and I was relieved by it. During Friday’s class we also talked about loving yourself and taking care of yourself before…
Reasons Why Relationships Fail Several Causes Failed relationships seem to have increased dramatically over the years. And the effects of this are: depression, divorce, and in some cases a failed relationship can have a huge impact on a child's life. Many relationships fail due to lack of communication, cheating, and jealousy. Being in a relationship means commitment and that has many components to make it work such as talking. Communication is key, when you don't communicate this causes problems.…
Three dating rules that we feel emphasize mutual respect and responsibility are open communication, honesty, and compromise. Each of these rules fosters a healthy relationship in different ways. For example, communication allows for a free flow of thoughts from both people, to prevent conflict. It also allows each person to show how they feel and what they are thinking, good and bad. Honesty is important because, in order to maintain a healthy relationship, a couple must be truthful with each other and should never lie to each other.…
• Develop people skills because good relationships with team members will begin with good people skills • Schedule time to build relationships. Setting aside a part of the day, even 20 minutes, for things like going to someone's office during lunch for a chat; replying to colleagues posts on Twitter or LinkedIn; or even just asking a colleague out for a quick cup of coffee. These exchanges can be useful for building a base for a good relationship, especially if it’s done in person. • Appreciate others. By saying an honest thank you to someone when they help you will make them feel appreciated.…
The three top qualities that I firmly believe to be the most influential in my life are: Each person in the relationship has a separate identity, each person assumes responsibility for his or her own level of happiness, and each person is able to give and receive honest and respectful feedback. “Each person in the relationship has a separate identity,” this quality has become important in my life because I have ultimately struggled with Erik Erikson's intimacy versus isolation. That being said I think it is very important to be able to be your own person despite the type of relationship that someone may be…
As of today, I took the “Are you a good listener?” survey and the “My Style of Loving” inventory. I learned that one of the greatest keys of maintaining a good relationship is to be a great communicator. Not only does one have to speak; but also has to listen. As everyone owns their own style of communicating, we also have our own “love style” as well. According to Canadian writer, John Alan Lee, there are six basic love styles: Romantic, Altruistic, Manic, Companionate, Pragmatic, and Egocentric.…
Everyone agrees that breaking up is an awful experience. However your partner gives out hints or small warning signs that can tell you he is considering breaking up with you. What you have to do is keep alert for these signs that tell you that your relationship is heading towards a rocky end. Understanding these signs can ache in places inside you, you didn't even know existed, but it's important to know the direction your relationship and your life are taking. If your partner seems very eager to get off the phone when he is talking to you and sounds disinterested in what you are telling him, you should open your eyes and start thinking, because this is a warning.…
We also need to be honest with one another and not hide things so that problems do not keep building up or to keep things inside of us until the point where we let it all out and things can get destructive. Self-disclosure is important to develop a close relationship and being true to yourself helps build an honest relationship. So being honest and true with one another and being willing to self-disclose our inner feelings, thoughts, opinions, and ambitions is key to keeping the relationship healthy and alive. We also need to avoid using media to communicate about any problems we have and to rely on synchronous communication such as talking face to face about any personal…
We all have met people in life who hoard small resentments and then one day they unexpectedly burst up. Don’t be that kind of a person. Vent your sour feelings and resentments, as they occur, in a respectful manner. You will be surprised to see how productive and respectful things have become. Not only this, but you will feel good from inside as well.…
I look for honesty and trustworthiness. If I can’t trust my partner, I believe the relationship will not be healthy. Other positive qualities I look for is that my partner is supportive, not controlling, be responsible, and they are straightforward. An example would be when my partner sees me in a bad mood, my partner is able to ask me what’s wrong and be supportive. Some partners just ignore each other feelings and go with their day without knowing what really is wrong with their partner.…
Relationships are our social ties with other persons, ranging from casual acquaintance or passing friendships, to intense, long-term relationships such as marriages or lifetime friendships. Social psychology gives us the resources to try and explain theses relationship and evaluate the positive and negative effects of being in one. In order to evaluate a relationship we must look at both internal and external concepts that can be applied. In high school, a very complicated relationship started to arise during my junior year and lasted until we left for college. Being best friends for four years both of us tried to ignore how we started to feel in order to protect our friendship but from both influences from our friends and even ourselves…
So what is the reason why relationships end in divorce due? Is it due to some sort of adultery or “growing apart,” or on the other hand; the fallout of a “love connection.” No, that can’t be true there has to be a more in depth sense as to why this occurs so often. So what’s the real reason why he /she cheated and is it honestly because the love chemistry is no longer an element; must it truly end with divorcing one another.
