UGLY:
•Infidelity – being unfaithful in a relationship is not a successful one. There is an important element that is lacking if a partner is unfaithful and that is trust. This would create an unhealthy relationship.
•Physical or Emotional Abuse – if your partner hits your or is verbally putting you down all the time, the relationship is an ugly one. Even if they apologize after, there is still nothing pretty about the way you feel.
•Overpower – not letting your partner have their own say and do what they want is not a healthy relationship but in face an ugly one. If you aren’t allowed to do anything without the permission of a partner (like seeing friends or family), the partner thinks that they can control you, which should never be the case in a relationship.
Different Relationships
A long-time friend – At least since you have known them for a while, you know if they are honest, something that makes a relationship good. Your communication would be positive because if you were long-time friends before, you must be able to have conversations very easily. Hopefully, you are committed to each other if you are so close already, and you will stay together for a while. However, you might disrespect each other sometimes because knowing one another for that long, can lead to more fights. On the other hand, you may lack communication because you already know everything about each other, leading to a bad relationship. Being long-time friends, you might not have enough space because you are and have been side by side for a while, which can lead to some difficulties. Since you are so comfortable with each other, it may not seem as bad to cheat, but that would be an ugly relationship. The comfort can also lead to physical or emotional abuse because one might know that the other would never tell the truth about what’s going on. One might take control over their partner because of how long they have known each other, and they know their weak spots in order to overpower their partner.
An intimate friend – there would be some good things about this type of relationship: it wouldn’t be hard to commit, you would have plenty of communication, and since there is nothing to lose, you would not usually lie to one another. However, the bad things could include disrespect because of the actions in this type of relationship, potentially that lack of communication because there might not be enough talking, and not having enough space due to jealousy.
A teacher – The communication factor would be good depending on the relationship with the teacher, but could also be lacking if you dislike that teacher or are not comfortable around them. It is hard to lie to a teacher because they always know, so there would be a lot of honesty. Hopefully you are committed to getting work done in that teacher’s class. Some students may disrespect their teachers if they are bad behaved, or the student may feel trapped if the teacher is constantly nagging them. You can’t really cheat on your teacher, but you can be unfaithful to their rules. An ugly relationship would obviously be any abuse between your teachers, but that is rare. Finally, a lot of students feel as though their teacher controls them too much, which could lead to negative effects and an ugly relationship.
