Professor Love Dickinanus: I knew they would break up, I predicted it!
Colleague: How? How did you know that they would break up around this time?
Professor Love Dickinanus: I noticed tension between them when they started dating, so I used my method called the Stages of a Relationship to determine when their relationship would cease to exist.

street hockey relationship

An on-again, off-again relationship between two people that are dating. The couple will break up for usually very trivial/minor reasons and get back together numerous times. During this process they normally make sure to tell all of their friends and anyone else who will listen every step of the way to the point of being extremely annoying and insufferable.
“My friend Franklin and his girlfriend Tammy have the most pathetic street hockey relationship I have ever seen in my life. One minute they are happy in love and the next there are tears and crying and hatred and bitterness as they part ways for the umpteenth time. This happens about every week or two.”

Dysfunctional relationship

A relationship in one or more people recognizes there is a problem yet simultaneously are in denial at it. This is more common occurrence in heterosexual relationship with a kid/s involved. Sometimes the chick is not yet prego in these relationship.

Why this happen because peeps don't like them self , they afriad they are not wanted , they want to look good and whole bunch of other things. If kids involved , then there is fear of a broken family or they be a bad parent.

A Whole bunch of stuff involved in these relationships. People can be nice and those nice things can be screwed up. Dysfunctional is not just yelling and hitting. It comes to you when someone is nice to you to get what they want .It comes off looking like normal things.

Sadly divorce or breaks up help show the problems sometimes.
