We have all at one point or another have been the person to sabotage a relationship, or on the receiving end of it–and we know that it doesn 't feel good. Good or bad most of people either don 't know how to articulate their feelings, or they have a hard time articulating how they feel about another person, especially to the person that they care about. Two people can really care about each other, but because one or both isn’t acting on those feelings the relationship may never have a chance to reach its greatest potential. Since most of us don’t know how to handle or express our feelings when we’re in love, many times we miss out on the wonderful experience that a loving relationship can be.
As a rule most of us we’re not taught that love can be complicated, messy and painful, but love can also be exhilarating, wonderful and fulfilling.The main thing that someone should 've taught us was that whether

Regardless of how you sabotage a relationship whether it is distancing yourself from the other person, downplaying the relationship, or whatever it is that you do to slow down the relationship in order to protect yourself, you are really doing irreversible damage to the relationship. What you are doing without realizing it is destroying trust. You realize that you are beginning to have deeper feelings for the other person, but instead of showing them how you really feel about them, you 've chosen to hurt them to protect yourself. Now, if you think about it that makes no sense at all, but people do it everyday, and then wonder why they 're alone. They are alone because someone either got tired of the behavior, or got tired of trying to figure out the behavior and moved on. That push-pull moodiness of someone who doesn’t know what they want or doesn’t know how to express what they want is tiring, and any person with any self-respect is going to eventually give up trying to figure it
Love and heartache have been discussed and explored through literacy many times in every way possible. Overall through the course of literacy, we have learned that love is not easy. Sometimes people choice to brush off the bruises and try again and some people choice to find another purpose. Jeff Parker and Erica Dawson are two authors who, by using different types of literary formats, effectively came across the topic of love. Erica Dawson uses poetry in her poem, “New NASA Missions Rendezvous with Moon”, to execute the idea that love wins at the end of the day.
When one person loves another, they’re able to see every character trait that makes them them. They completely understand each other. Because of this, they are also able to easily, methodically destroy each other by using those private, sometimes embarrassing, things. The love and understanding they possess can also make these things hard.
Loss is one of the hardest things to cope with. However, one doesn’t always realize the different ‘types’ of love they can experience until they’ve experienced more than one of them. In these three stories, “Gwilan’s Harp,” by LeGuin; “The Washerwoman,” by Isaac Singer; and “The Last Leaf,” by O’Henry a theme of loss presents itself.
THE COURSE OF LOVE It is generally recognized that the course of love rarely runs smoothly. But it took two university professors to plot the course that love takes in the lives of actual young people. Professors Kirkpatrick and Caplow found that the most usual course of love is one starting with mutual indifference and moving upward through attraction to love, and then either dropping again to indifference, with the broken love affair, or remaining in love at a high level of mutual involvement. One out of every five love affairs studied is irregular in its course, with unpredictable shifts from love to hate to indifference to liking in various combinations throughout the history of the relationship.
Love is complicated, and has to be, in order to have a strong relationship.

“The beautiful thing about the collaborative work of art is that it will not paint or draw or sculpt itself. This version of love allows us to decide what it looks like,” states Mandy Len Catron at a TEDx event in January of 2016 where she discusses the reality of love. Mandy Len Catron, a writer and English teacher from Vancouver, Canada, has been working on The Love Story Project for many years and is now writing a book describing the dangers of love stories. In her speech, she infers that love is “unpredictable, frustrating, and emotionally demanding,” that it “creates both love and pain,” and that “each experience of love is different” (Catron). A love between romantic couples is a passionate and intense roller coaster ride that can make
Love has an abundance of meanings to a variety of people, some liking the idea, while others feel a more physical or emotional connection. Being in love with isn’t just being with the person, it’s a feeling in which both people endure with each other. In addition, love doesn’t always have a happy ending, in the famous cliche, “If you love something set it free,” means that sometimes love is about keeping that person happy, and in order to do that the two people have to be happy on their own. Romance isn’t just a physical attraction, but also an emotional bond that brings people together. In The Sun Also Rises, by Ernest Hemingway, the characters are experiencing love through more physical relationships than emotional relationships showing many
Relationships within our lives are of the utmost importance for our survival in this world. Whether it be a relationship on a friend level, a connection with a parent or another family member, or even a bond with a significant other, we need that kind of interaction within our lives to be able to survive. Within the memoir Night, Elie Wiesel recounts how his relationship with his father was very strained before the two of them were forced into the Jewish concentration camps of World War II. On page four Wiesel wrote, “My father was a cultured man, rather unsentimental.
So when the opportunity arose to pursue love, and to be with a crush of mine for a very long time, I weighed the good: My happiness, someone to cherish
Relationships are something that every person experiences throughout their lifetime. Whether it’s the comforting relationship of a friend, a swoon-worthy relationship of a lover, or a heart-melting relationship with your parents - every person has stumbled across at least one type of relationship. Sadly, not all relationships are made of fairytales and dreams. Negative and dysfunctional relationships sound both hurtful and heartbreaking, but are also very real. Wounded relationships lead people to perform harmful actions that permanently scar others mentally, and result in distrust and the feeling of neglect.
We live in a society that has increasingly demoralizes love, depicting it as cruel, superficial and full of complications. Nowadays it is easy for people to claim that they are in love, even when their actions say otherwise, and it is just as easy to claim that they are not when they indeed are. Real love is difficult to find and keeping it alive is even harder, especially when one must overcome their own anxieties and uncertainties to embrace its presence. This is the main theme depicted in Russell Banks’ short story “Sarah Cole: A Type of Love Story,” as well as in Richard Bausch’s “The Fireman’s Wife.” These narratives, although similar in some ways, are completely different types of love stories.
Love takes hard work and needs support and care in order to
The Story of Lanval and the Theme of Love Love is a powerful theme in many stories and shows what one will do for love. It is and emotion that is quite strong, and many will stop at nothing to seek love. Love knows no boundaries and it does not matter if you are rich, poor, old, or young, it will find a way to come into different people’s lives.
Living in a world driven by commercial messages about entitled happiness and freedom of choice, our relationships often bear the continuous burden of the misguided belief, that like the stuff we accumulate, our relationships too are disposable and interchangeable if they do not meet our needs. By expecting our relationships to make us happy and meet our needs, instead of recognizing their capacity to teach us how to love more, we refuse the daily, messy work of relating and learning how to communicate, negotiate and master shared difficulties and challenges. This misunderstanding impacts our ability to commit. True happiness comes as a result of the sustained emotional investment in other people.
