Relationship Type
- Fitzpatrick (1988)
*This can affect what type of relationship you have and what you want to have
1. Traditional- The type of relationship that has been accepted for years, long established. Within this relationship the roles are clearly divided
Example: Male is money maker, female is care giver.
2. Interdependent''s- This is when two people are dependent on each other.
3. Separates- This is when two people have different interests and personalities
4. Mixed- This is when a couple has mixed interests and roles, never a clearly divided
Each of these relationships have their own problems that are generated based on what type of relationship they are. Each relationship is chosen not only by your conscious being, but by your subconscious. For example, your attachment style plays a huge affect on what type of relationship you end up having.
