Case Study In Relationships I have chosen to do this case study on the de-escalation of the relationship between two friends of mine, Becky and Nathan* (*names have been changed to protect the innocent). They were together for three years, but after about a year and a half, I realized that the relationship was slowly falling apart. Becky and Nathan got together during Becky’s senior year of high school. At first things seemed great, they got along well, and seemed to be very much in love. But, things were slowly unraveling. When Nathan was arrested for possession of marijuana, he claimed it wasn’t his, it was his friend’s and he just happened to be sitting in the wrong car seat. At the time, we all believed him, because Nathan didn’t seem like a “typical pot-head.” About six months after this incident, Becky not only found out that Nathan was lying about the pot not being his, but he was also a “pot-head.” Becky decided to trust Nathan when he told her that he was going to quit, and stuck out the relationship. After another six months or so, Becky discovered that Nathan had not only not stopped smoking, but he had left her on her nathan, phase, becky, relationship, person, going, about, told, through, out, after, year, together, things, social, realized, quit, much, high, found, everyone, during, disengagement, conflict, break, becky, wasn’t, very, time, telling, survive, sure, started, stages
