Week 12 Question 3

I like the topic about the avoiding stage and how a partner will turn to avoiding the other for any reason during a relationship. I have only experienced first hand the boyfriend and girlfriend aspect but the stage where me or her will start to ignore the other or goes MIA for a long period of time is usually not good for the relationship. Its like bringing a third person into a relationship, nothing good is going to come from it. I have experienced married couples needing more time to themselves to feel that sense of freedom so longer hours or anything like joining a sports league to have free time seems common and somewhat healthy during a long relationship. Isolation psychologically is not something I think is a good idea or healthy for that matter. I would rather see a person less and be happy when I see them than spend time with them with little to no connection or vibe between us.
