Day 196 | Relationship Therapy | action
[The relationships group therapy attendees will all get a message telling them to report to a private room at Lyrical, the karoke bar in sector 3. When they arrive they'll find couches and oversized chairs arranged into a rough circle. In the center of the ring there is a table with a bowl full of folded slips of paper with questions.]
How many people have you slept with?
How many relationships have you been in?
What was your longest relationship? Most serious?
Why did your last relationship end?
What do you look for in another person?
Are you happy?
Who is your ideal mate?
What was the biggest problem/complication in your previous or current relationship?
What do you need out of a relationship? Sexual experience?
How long have you been single between relationships? Why do you think it was so long/short?
What is the best way to break up with someone?
Do you believe in soul mates? Do you think you have or will meet yours?
Would you rather spend your life with one important person or several acquaintances? Why?
Are there any similarities between the people you've been with? If so, what are they?
Do you have trouble making choices? Give examples.
Do you think with your heart, your head, or your genitalia? Are you satisfied with this behavior?
Do you have trouble relating to people? If so, in what way?
[In addition to the questions there are cards with various prompts. One explains the game, I Never. Another suggests people pair off and roleplay they are in a relationship and then deal with various scenarios like what do to if one partner flirts with someone else or comes home late without calling.]
Who should do the dishes?
When is it appropriate to discuss getting blue bands/having sex?
What do you do if you suspect the other is keeping secrets?
What do you say if your partner comes home with a haircut you don't like?
How do you respond if you find your partner crying?
How do you decide how to spend your time together?
Your partner's family doesn't like you. What do you do?
One of you is critically hurt. How does the other respond?
Your friends don't like the person you're with. What do you say to them? What do you say to your partner?
One of you wants sexual relations and the other does not. How do you balance your needs?
How do you communicate your desire for a particular kink to your partner?
It is your partner's birthday. How do you prepare?
At a party your partner leaves you to socialize with others. How does this make you feel and how do you respond?
How do you show your affection?
[If people choose to participate in any of the conversation starters the robots will take drink orders and release them sooner. This is made clear as each person enters. Otherwise, there is a water pitcher and plastic cups as well as a platter of stale donuts.]
(OOC: Anyone is welcome to be directed to this group (or just drop in) whether you responded to the initial set-up post or not! Mingle style. Assume threadjacking and overhearing is welcome unless otherwise marked since it is a relatively small room and group. Even private conversations won't be super private. You are not limited to the questions, scenarios, or games listed above. Assume there are more! Forward dated to late afternoon.)
