NEWI chose my relationship with my boyfriend for this discussion.
Describe the autonomy/connection tension within your relationship, which one is the norm?
We spend most off our free time chasing our children around but when we do get free time its usually watching movies together or hes playing video games while I am reading a book or doing school work.
Describe the closedness/openness tension within your relationship, which one is the norm?
This is the biggest tension in our relationship because he will share everything and wants me to as well where mostly due to not so great past relationships I dont feel the need to share everything. It annoys him that I am not more open to sharing how im feeling and what my thoughts are.
Describe the novelty/predictability tension within your relationship, which one is the norm?
We definetly fall more under predictability but alot of that has to do with having his 3 year old and 8 month old every other weekend and my 4 year old all the time its a whole lot easier to have a routine but our novelty which I will always charish is when he asks one of my family or friends to watch my son so we can go out to dinner or spend the morning hunting.
