SEXUALITY,
INTIMACY, and COMMITMENT seem to suffer from problems of differing
expectations. While one person might think they all go together in an
ideal long-term relationship, this may not be the case for the partner.
In
the best case scenario, these expectations are discussed early on in the
relationship, before marriage, children, etc. Nonetheless, there
may be different values placed on these aspects of a relationship and the
values may change over time.
When
these expectations get "out of synch" resentments pile up.
These resentments lead to further deterioration in the relationship.
Physiological
issues also arise, such as diminished sexual drive and ability to become
aroused, and they may occur at different times in each partner. On the
other hand,
non-sexual issues may arise in one or both partners leading to "sexual
sabotage."
Before
IRREVOCABLE HARM is done, it is imperative to seek the counseling services of
a good psychiatrist, therapist, or life coach.
