Well I've worked with some people who kind of seem to get into

maybe what could be considered unhealthy relationships or

have kind of similar unhealthy patterns within their relationships,

could those be considered other risks or traps that people get into?

>> Yeah, I hate to being saying this, a lot of

people are actually disappointed in their relationships and

many people actually do not get what they need in the relationships.

Very often because they were following misguided scripts or

notions of where things are going.

So this is why in this course we want to be addressing some of those, right?

We talk about some traps associated with dominant social scripts.

But then individuals also carry their own expectations with regard to relationships.

One of the very commonly found problems is that,

because people do not think about what they really need,

they would just follow what most people would do.

One example is the sort of popular practice of certain standardized rituals,

which do not necessarily meet individual needs but

everyone would be following them.

One example I can immediately think of is how consumerism has

totally taken over our expression of love and affection.

Just imagine what people do on Valentine's Day.

It would be chocolates, flowers, fine dining, [LAUGH] or

if you're better resourced, then you might throw in a piece of jewelry maybe.

But then, it doesn't really requires creativity and

sensitivity to your partner's specific needs and circumstances.

And then, obviously, everyone will be spending money and will pay,

maybe, I don't know, 50% more or 100% more for

the same bunch of flowers [LAUGH] that you would otherwise get.

But then this consumerism is out there and everyone follows and

then the other example that I can easily give is the kind of

money that people spend on engagement parties and weddings.

And how much do those contribute to the health of the relationship and

to the respective and collective well-being of the couples involved?

It's a big question, but this is what people do.
