Briefly analyze a relationship you had which has now ended, indicating the different phases of dissolution the relationship experienced. To what degree did the relationship mirror Duck's phases of disengagement?

What will be an ideal response?

Duck's phases of relationship dissolution are: (1 ) the intrapsychic phase, where a person begins to internally assess dissatisfaction with the relationship; (2 ) the dyadic phase, where the persons in the
relationship begin to discuss the status of their relationship; (3 ) the social phase, where difficulties in
the relationship become more public; and (4 ) the grave-dressing phase, where each partner gives an
account of the "break up" after it has happened.
