The Game

I really enjoyed our class discussion today about mating. I particularly liked our discussion on constructive and destructive games that we tend to play in our relationships. I feel that so many of my friends tend to go down the destructive path in their game playing and I can totally see how these types of games have lead them to some really unhealthy relationships. I had one friend who is constantly picking fights with her boyfriend. She would yell at him on the phone and test him constantly in a way that she felt would let him prove his love to her. The only thing her little game did was cause them to have an extremely unhealthy relationship and made everyone around them feel very uncomfortable. In a professional setting I feel that my friend and her boyfriend need to discuss their personal needs and what each of them want out of the relationship. I feel that by opening up their communication in a positive way with out the yelling and bickering they can begin to build a strong relationship. However, they may also decide that the relationship is not working out and that their personal needs are not being met. In that case maybe the best thing to do is to put an end to that relationship.
