Everyone has an issue with relationships, regardless of the type. Some issues are great, some are small, others are positive, yet others are negative. Whatever kind of issue one has with relationships determines an interesting approach to relating to other people.This is especially true for romantic and intimate relationships. Each perspective has a sense of validity, depending on a person's attitude and experience in close romantic relationships. As a matter of fact, the possible ideas of an ideal romantic scene are endless: dancing in flowery fields, floating in a gondola down a Venice river, doing a twirling dance under a disco ball with a surrounding crowd clapping away, drinking wine on the open deck of a seaside restaurant during sunset, and even sitting hand-in-hand while cheering at a boxing match. All of these images satisfy a legitimate image of romance and define a romantic relationship in some unique way. A relationship issue, then, is contingent on a person's particular view and not on any pre-established blanket definition.
Not-so-flattering images of romance are just as equally valid. Romantic relationships have taken a toll on many. It is no surprise, then, that masses of lonely people will have relationship issues in the current colloquial sense. A prime example would be the above-mention dancing-in-the-flowery-field scenario. Where some are inspired and taken away by this, others find the same image as sickening and unrealistic. Another example would be a visual of a man and woman facing one another while each has a gun point at the other's head. If these reflect a person's experience in romantic relationships, they are just as righteous as anything else because they represent a truth as some individual sees it.
Relationship issues, then, go many ways; the issues represent the many sides to romance and to what the concept really means. In the end, of course, relationship issues are personal and should stay that way; sharing them would only create more issues.
