guess what, Introduction of Human Communication involved this in the syllabus.
initiating : making contact with each other with acquaintances
experimenting : the conversation develop as the people get acquainted by making 'small talk'
intensifying : the expression of feelings toward the other becomes more common. spending an increasing amount of time together, asking for support from one another, doing favor of the partner, hinting and flirting
integrating : the partners begin to take on each other's commitments. they even begin to speak alike, using common words and sentence patterns. in this case, is a time when we give up some characteristics of our old-selves and become different people.
bonding : make symbolic public gestures to show the world that their relationship exists, wedding ceremony.
differentiating : they want to reestablish individual identities.
circumscribing : communications decrease in quality and quantity. it entails a certain shrinking of interest and commitment.
stagnating : partners behaved toward each other in old, familiar ways without much feeling.
avoiding : begin to create distance between each other
terminating : summary dialogues about where the relationship has gone and the desire to dissociate.
well, this is so sad, but somehow, it is pretty true.
so guys, which part do you usually stop in a relationship?
