If you have to ask yourself: “Is he stringing me along?”, deep down you probably already know the answer. The thing is you care for him very much or you are so into him that you can’t see the reality of things. You would much rather stay than risk losing him. But the thing is you can’t lose what’s not already yours.
Temperament clashes exist to some extent in nearly all relationships. They emerge around the 10th month of living together and often rise to crisis level in the second year.
If the couple doesn't manage them well, they rupture the relationship by the fourth year.Temperament has many dimensions that greatly influence tastes, preferences, choices,. You can think of it in a shorthand way as your innate emotional tone—what it feels like to be you. In its more fundamental aspects, it changes little over a lifetime—temperament classifications of infants tend to persist into old age. But this can be misleading, as individual strategies create much of the variance we see in people. Children, for example, can grow up to make a living in areas like or, although they remain fundamentally shy, overcoming temperamental inhibitions with every speaking engagement.
They will never be the life of the party, but they often develop the capacity to enjoy the life of the party. The dimensions of temperament most likely to be exaggerated in committed relationships are intensity (energy level) and mood, particularly anxiety regulation.Broadly speaking, people with high innate energy are more inclined to action than reflection and prefer some kind of external structure to guide their abundant energy. Those with lower energy levels tend to have a slower metabolism, be more thoughtful before acting, and prefer a looser external structure so they can think about where to invest their more limited energy.
'Opposites attract' turns out to be a myth. We are drawn to people with moderate differences in temperament, looking for potential partners who 'fill in our gaps,' as a popular movie character put it. For instance, high-intensity people want partners they can relax with, while low-intensity folks are attracted to those who energize them.
(You bring me up, I calm you down, and we meet in the middle.) Highly organized people admire the spontaneity and tendency to 'think outside the box' of their less organized dates, who, in turn, enjoy the stability and 'feet-on-the-ground' qualities of their potential partners. While we are not attracted to opposites, we seem to become opposites when living together.Emotional ReactivityOver time, people react to differences in emotional tone, particularly in regard to anxiety-regulation, thereby widening the moderate differences that first attracted them. For instance, anxiety in the high energy partner elevates in response to the care-free demeanor of the other partner, who in turn tries to 'let go' or 'back off' in response to the increased anxiety in the household. The more one partner becomes, the more 'laid-back' the other seems. How to Tell When You're in a Dispute About Temperament. Your partner seems 'wrong' in the way he/she perceives things—'decent' people wouldn't see or do it that way. Your partner honestly doesn't get why you're annoyed.
You're convinced that your way is the only right way.Good NewsOnce a couple gets over the hump of temperament conflicts (which can take 10-20 years without intervention), they get back to appreciating their differences, as they did early in their union. In long-term relationships, the parties come to accept their different preferences, tastes, and behavior, without judging their partners or thinking they're wrong or inferior because they disagree. In place of no-win temperamental competitions, they cooperate like teammates. They divide labor according to their metabolic specialties, with one partner handling the deadline chores and the other concentrating on the longer-term tasks. They are like different wheels on the same axel, covering different ground but going in the same direction.
Why do we really want to change the people if they dont want to change. We must not try to impose our ideas on others likewise what if one of us or both dont fit each others ideas.thats not out of normal.we must not forget that theres a difference between love and making the bond of love.we all need spaces,freedom,protection and many other related things in this complexicity of topic. But if both understand that temprament clashes should be resolved,I guess persistent dialects (agreement out of disagreement) can help discussing about it over coffee.
The act of dragging out a relationship with someone while having dishonest intentions. This can be applied to friendships or dating. The person stringing along the victim usually is getting something selfish or one-sided out of the situation such as sex, money or attention from others.
This usually ends poorly for the person being along. The victim is sometimes aware of the situation but does not break due to them being a tool, insecure, or gaining something less from the relationship such as not being completely alone even though they are being used. People performing this act are usually.
