Question

Describe an example from a relationship you have experienced for each of the stages below

Stage 2: Experimenting

Stage 3: Intensifying

Stage 5: Bonding

Stage 8: Stagnating

Stage 9: Avoiding

Stage 10: Terminating

Answer 1

This is the stagnation stage. The partners are not doing as many things that would usually be done to keep the relationship alive and vital. Now, the actions are simply being done because "it's what people in relationships do," instead of actually being something that the partners want to do.
