25 Relational Styles: Notes

  • Notice how the opposites attract each other in relationships to complement and complete each other.
  • For example, the narcissistic-aggressive will seek out an empathic-passive.
  • Furthermore, even if you are not the opposite type, you can feel hooked to respond from that place by someone who relates to you strongly from their own opposite style.
  • Additionally, in long-term relationships, such as in marriages, styles tend to become extreme even if they did not start that way.
  • As an actual case in point, two equal partners in a relationship ended up with one as the dominant partner, even to the point of that dominant partner silencing the other: “He never says anything at home,” even though he is a prominent attorney and both outspoken and aggressive when away from the home or his wife.
