I have been interested in this topic since my first
real relationship in high school. For the first time, I learned how to open up
to another person and grow a strong relationship. We never had problems with
communicating and always told each other what we liked, and didn’t like about
the relationship. Expressing the things we felt uncomfortable with in terms of
the way the relationship was going helped us fix the issues and we got through
it stronger than before. We had some problems, though, that seemed to never
have a resolution. The trust slowly started to disappear and nothing we did to
try and fix it brought it back. As she started getting more comfortable with
me, she became verbally abusive whenever things between us didn’t go his way. I
felt that I needed space and some more time with my friends but she couldn’t
understand why. The most things I failed
to do was to acknowledge and give recognition what she was trying to say and
humbly respect her point of view on issues that concerns us. Reading this
chapter brought to light what I never developed, the aspect of acknowledgment,
recognition and endorsement.
