1RELATIONSHIP ANALYSIS
I had a relationship before meeting my present boyfriend, which went on for a couple
of years. I was in a very serious relationship and I considered him to be my one and only but
gradually it turned out be the worst relationship, anyone could ever had. I badly wanted to
forget those days with him. I wanted to wash away all the feelings of being betrayed and
cheated on and therefore, I got into a relationship soon after and he is the one I am in a
relation with right now, or to say, forever. We got to know each other through a social

other, all day long; whenever we meet we fail to communicate as other couples. I blush a lot
and sometimes, I turn red I face. When it comes to maintaining an eye contact, I have to put a
lot of pressure on myself (Rowsell and Coplan). I think this is only due to the meetings that
we rarely do. My friends use to say that what is the meaning of such relation where you
people don’t spend time together? This sometimes makes me sad and I feel like meeting him
at once. The same is the greatest advantage of our relationship because it is giving us ample
