Question

Yvonne complains to Cedric that the spark has gone out of their relationship. She claims that Cedric used to surprise her with flowers and cards, but he no longer engages in those behaviors. Cedric is confused. After all, didn't Yvonne comment only a week earlier how content and safe she felt knowing that their relationship was stable? Which dialectical tension is present in Yvonne and Cedric's relationship?

A) Autonomy and connection
B) Openness and protection
C) Novelty and predictability
D) Real and Ideal

Answer 1

D) Real and ideal.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this dialectical tension there is a desire for the woman of wanting her relationship to be perceived as the same yet different from other relationship. So what she wants is to demonstrate others her relationship is OK but in reality it is not. I hope my answer is correct!
