to address in a one-page response. Please be sure to identify the question you are answering in your written

response.

Question #1 (Applicable Concepts: Conflict, Intimate Partner Violence, Relational Repair)

I was dating this guy for the past six months and he decided to drop the breakup bomb in the middle of a

dinner date. We were at a restaurant and I really felt blindsided. I was so upset that he didn’t deliver the news

in a more thoughtful, intimate, and sensitive manner. He didn’t give any real reason other than something

Question #3 (Applicable Concepts: Obsessive Relational Intrusion/Stalking)

I am 25 and my friend, “John,” is 33. I’ve known John since I was 8 years old. He was my brother’s best

friend growing up and was considered a family friend. After going through a pretty tough time in his earlymid
