Relationship Checkpoint: Is he/she a product of disturbed attachment patterns ?
Yes – I know. You’re probably thinking – “Huh?”
I will explain in layman terms. Have you ever caught yourself wondering about your significant other– “What is wrong with this person?” Sometimes the person that has the problem is you – sometimes both – but if you find that your mate is exhibiting a pattern of strange and irrational behaviour as you grow more intimate in your relationship (and proximity especially), you might want to think about stopping at Chapters bookstore on your way home from work – or from trying to find a job (don’t want to make assumptions or discriminate) – and pick up a book on Personality Psychology.
We take Parenting courses to help raise perfect little children to become brilliant and well balanced adults and yet there seems to be little emphasis with building and maintaining the intimate relationships with the other person you have those children with…hmmm. Clearly most of us don’t intend on raising those children by ourselves so we would likely prefer to understand ourselves a bit more, and people a bit more by examining WHY people are the way they are in order to learn how to deal with them and how to predict their behaviour under certain situations. Psychology is by no means a rule book …its more of a ‘People – for Idiots’ sort of thing – for those of us who think that human beings operate like a toaster; (as long as its plugged in it should work). Not quite so friends. Not quite. So let that be your first lesson for the day.
