Not All Relationships Are the Same

Relationships Vary in Many Ways Depending on the Type of Relationship

Sondra C
Relationships vary in many ways. Friendships between two women might start as childhood friends and last for their lifetime. They might attend the same college, share similar interests, spend vacations and holidays together and share secrets. They each become the others shoulder to lean on when sad and to celebrate with in times of happiness. This type of friendship can be passed on through generations unless one or the other marries a man who resents this type of relationship and separates them through lies or insinuations.

Platonic Relationships Between Man & Woman

Relationships vary in many ways. It can begin between a man and a woman who remain platonic friends. Sex does not enter into this type of relationship. They merely share feelings, thoughts, happiness, sadness and pain. They become a comforting shoulder to lean on in times of need. Marriage in a platonic relationship is rarely a consideration.

They attend each others weddings, and share other happy events. In fact, this is where a platonic relationship might end. Their husbands or wives might frown upon this relationship causing the friendship to terminate. On the brighter side, the couples might also become friends and pass down their friendship through their children who become best of friends as well.

Sexual Relationship Between Two Who are Married

Relationships vary in many ways. Husbands or wives who are unhappy in their marriage but remain because ''of the children,'' might seek sexual gratification outside of the home. They feel the need for more excitement, attention or sexual gratification and look for a sexual relationship elsewhere. Someone usually ends up getting hurt in this type of relationship. Most of the time it is the children.

Relationships Based on Only on Sex?

Relationships vary in many ways. This type of relationship is strictly sexual. Neither are married. I met a man on the Internet who had such arrangement with a woman friend. He referred to her as his "sex buddy." Their relationship was limited to safe sexual gratification. They each had a blood test and were confirmed to be free of sexual diseases. They met once or twice a week, according to their needs. They pledged never to have sex with anyone else. In the event that one of them broke the pledge, they would inform the other. At this point their sexual relationship would end.

Sexual Relationships Between Same Sex Couples

Relationships vary in many ways.Same sex relationships occur between two men or two women. Some couples might enter into a long term relationship and marry. Others prefer to date others without settling down. A same sex relationship is similar to an oppositive sex relationship. There are liars and ''players'' in both.

Men or woman, both of the same sex, might fall in love, get engaged want to get married. They will have to find a state that allows a same sex marriage.

Relationships between two people can differ or be the same. A relationship can sustain a lifetime or breakup within a few weeks. All relationships differ. What works for one might not work for another.
