Discussion 2


The relationship I have had that has grown closer over time is the one with my boyfriend. The early stage of the relationship was great and very interesting. We grew close very fast and I began feeling like we knew everything about each other!  We hit it off wonderfully and found that we had many similarities as well as differences. It is an I-You relationship. Over the span of a year I thought there wasn’t much more to learn but until this day I learn new things about them every day. We talked about each other’s upbringing, our past experiences, our likes/dislikes, and what our future goals were. We tended to avoid politics as we have very opposite views on that. I am more spontaneous and he is more calculated as well as analytical. After many debates about certain subjects we began to realize that we can “agree to disagree”. It has worked out a lot better that way. Our fields of experience differ but we have found that it has broadened our perspectives. He is very internal when it comes to his emotions and analyzes everything. I am able to express myself anytime anywhere! It has helped us grow closer because we’ve taught each other patience and tolerance for other views.

  1. I really enjoyed reading your post. It is very nice to see people succeeding in their relationships. It is always nice to have someone that you can confide in and tell anything to. By reading your post, it seems as though your relationship has grown for the positive. It is always nice to learn new things about your significant other. Having someone in your life that can teach you something new every day is a hard thing to find. I hope that your relationship continues to thrive and that you can continue to learn new things about each other for years to come.

  2. I also loved your post. I wrote about my relationship with my boyfriend as well. I find it interesting how opposites attract. My boyfriend and I can be selective on what we talk about and how much we talk but when we do talk I find that we grow a lot more as people and get closer. I enjoyed how your story got better and better as time went on.
