Nature of the Relationship.
I found this chapter to be really interesting to me since I have been in a committed relationship for over 3 years now. We did have our difficulties because we went to different colleges that demanded different amount of time from each of us, but some how or another we ended up sticking together and making things work out. There were many times when he had events that took place at his school that I could not attended because I didn't go there, which made me feel left out like he was having fun with out me. As time went on we learned to talk about how we felt and started to make each other an active part of the others social life in school. Once we started to do that things in our relationship started to go really well. I feel that communication is a major part of a relationship. If there is not communication then the relationship is not going to last.

I too have been in a serious relationship for a number of years, and it was hard when she went to Arizona State and I am here in California. It was really hard for us to talk about things because she would get mad if i went to a party and then i too would get a little uncomfortable when she would go out. But the idea of talking and taking the mature side of our selves and talk about things and how we want them, it ended up working really great. We learned more about eachother through the talking more about our feelings and when was wrong that we worked through a lot of bumps.
Relationships are fickle things. I completely agree with you when you said that communication is a major aspect of relationships and without it, the relationship just cannot last. And not only is this true in romantic relationships, but also with friends and family members. Granted, they are different versions of relationships, but in order to be successful, communication is essential. I think of last week when a close friend and I were not talking. A lot of it is over our lack of communication regarding what really is bothering us. When we finally did open up, we realized that we need to talk openly like this, because when we don't we grow further apart. This just showed me how important communication can be in any relationship that I am in.
