Relationship can be also be the source of considerable suffering
Human beings are social animals and they stay in touch and create bonds with other people. Relationships with others can satisfy our needs, but also be the source of considerable suffering.
We can experience problems in very close relations (relationship, family), as well as in those that are more distant. Commonly reported difficulties in relationships include:
- difficult emotions – anger, guilt, jealousy, fear, sadness;
- frequent conflicts, quarrels;
- difficulties in communicating emotions and needs, or understanding them in partners;
- trust problems, suspicion;
- experiencing mental, physical and emotional abuse from the partner;
- the feeling of distancing oneself in a relationship, feeling of loneliness; feeling neglected, unimportant;

- problems in sexual relationship.
