Throughout life we become a part of multiple relationships. Every one of our relationships is different. Our relationships can be close, intimate, or they can be relationships that are not close or intimate but are very important in the well-being of our lives. An example of an intimate relationship is one that we may have with our significant other, whether it is a boyfriend or girlfriend, husband or wife, or even immediate family members. The relationship between a person and any one of the people that was previously named is intimate because there are things that are shared between those two that other people don’t have the privilege to experience. In intimate relationships, we share deep feelings that relate to or involve the innermost nature of ourselves. We feel the most relaxed with those that we are in the intimate relationship with and we share private thoughts or feelings with them. In an intimate relationship that involves a boyfriend, girlfriend, husband, or wife, sexual feelings and actions are also shared. An example of a close relationship would be one that is shared with a friend or an extended family member. These relationships are close because the two people involved share similar interests and are similar in many ways. When we are in close relationships, we know the people who we are close with relatively well and we see them and enjoy them quite often. Then there are those relationships that are not very close but are important in our lives. This type of relationship includes those that we tend to have with our teachers and our bosses. These relationships are so important because another person holds in their hand what we need. Our teachers hold our grades which maybe a very large factor in our position in the corporate world. Also our teachers hold the knowledge that we may need to get where we want to be. Our bosses are the one who ration our income. If it wasn’t for them, we won’t be making the money that we need to support ourselves and our families.LaTasha Moss
LaTasha,
I like how you analyzed all of the possible relationships that each of us undoubtedly have. You definitely hit the nail on the head with this post. Which, however, do you feel are the most important and why? and what relationship is the most abundant? which relationships do you htink you could lose without too many negative consequences?

I would agree with Andrew, LaTasha. I don’t think you are telling us much in this post.
