About Intimate and/or Sexual Relationships – Part 2
The Majority of Us Are at Fault
To begin with, unfortunately, the majority of us are at fault for taking part in destroying a relationship or relationships. Period. Only the brave and confident will agree and admit to being at the very least, partially to blame for having their part in ruining or Intimate and/or Sexual Relationships(s). As I see it, much of this is a result of what we learn in childhood from parents, family, and friends, how we interpret relationships as a child, and how we relate in adulthood to how and what we interpreted relationships as children.
Another Key Factor is:
What we are NOT taught as children and growing up. We are taught and study English, Math, Social Studies, and Science in grade school, then go on to the same plus Biology, a foreign language, electives, etc. and on to college for the advanced courses, majors, maybe adding psychology, human sexuality or sociology to the mix, etc., but what class or course taught us specifically how to have a successful relationship? All the comments made so far are true and are the basics, the principles of what we were taught and that’s was all well and good, but was it enough? Obviously not.
Trust, respect, honesty, communication and fidelity are the main principles for most romantic or sexual relationships. Trust, respect, honesty and communication are the main principles of most all other relationships, too. But once again, do you think these basic principles are enough to ensure most intimate or sexual couples of a harmonious, fun-loving, romantic, successful, lengthy relationship?
If you think yes, I’d like your opinions of why and if you think no, I’d like your comments of why not, before I continue.
