"About Two Nice People, " p. 128
In coordination with our newest reading by Shirley Jackson in our literature book, please answer this question either both before and/or after you read the story.
"Do relationships ever turn out totally different from what you expect?"
I think many relationships turn out differently than I expect. I could expect someone to be very boring and they can turn out fun. Some relationships can start in awkward ways and then turn out to be a very good and strong relationship. You can also expect a good relationship and then have it turn out bad for any reason. - Nicky Collova [before I read the story]
Many relationships turn out much differently then one would expect. Sometimes you don't know the person well and you make accusations and you judge them but then when u actually get to know them they can turn out to be the perfect match or it can go the other way were you think the person is perfect and turns out to be just the opposite.
As always it depends on what type of relationship you have. It could be a relationship between you and a friend, you and a neighbor, you and a family member, you and a cousin, and you and a girlfriend. Only once had I experienced with a cousin. After about a year of not seeing him, he turned out that his personality had change and we did not like and do the same things we used to do together. So I guess you can say that this type of relationship did not turn out the way i expected it.
I think that relationships can turn out differentlythan you would expect.If someone acts one way and when you start going out they act another than the relationship would turn out bad.
In my opinion, most relationships do turn out totally different than one could expect it. A person my age lives down the block from me. He doesn't play any sports and does not go to the same high school as me so I figured that we wouldn't get along. It turns out we have a lot of things in common and hang out often.
I think that relationships can turn out so much differently then what you expect. In the begining you may hate the person you are with and in the end you may really like them because they have qualities that you like in a person.
In my opinion, Relationships turn out totally different what I expected. For an example, I had a kindergarten friend in Korea, I haven't met him for 8 years, Because he moved to NY with his family and studied in there. I came NJ few month ago so i could meet him in Easter Break. He changed a lot. He almost forgot how to speak Korean and looks like American now. I was so embarrassed when i first saw him. - Sukwhan Youn
Relationships can be totally different from what you expect. Let's say a girl you liked for while decides to go out with you, and a day after the date she could very well just go and cheat on you the next day with a good friend of your's. I should know as it has happened to me in the past. On of my best friends who I met in 4th grade used to be a total jerk, but after I hung out with him for a bit he turned out to be a pretty cool guy. Relationships will rarely ever turn out the way you want them too because it is just too difficult to predict the human mind in that way. -Nigel Noriega
With many opinions on this subject, most of my fellow classmates above, have mentioned all i need to say. So, in conclusion i have to say i strongly agree with these comments above me.
A relationship that would be solid must be between 2 people, there must be loyalty and trust, communication, and most of all, pure love. If you really love someone, you will stay in the bed when the father is raging up the stairs wanting to kill you, but if you really love her, you stay. You must have dedication to one another and never leave each other. Or just have a horrible breakup. Yea.
I believe many relationships turn out a lot different than you expect because you can just look at marriages because people get married than get divorced because their relationship turned out different than they expected. People can also think a relationship will be awkward because they think someone is weird but once you get to know them it can turn out fun and you like that other person a lot. - Mike Sutherland
Often it is a gift when relationships turn out differently than expected...sometimes, for the better - I like those! But, if a relationship "goes south," as the unexpected result, then, perhaps it is better for both parties...those relationships are the tough ones to accept...you thought you had "all the bases covered". Then, "Kablooey"! Time to move on and learn from it!
Sigi...just why doesn't a relationship end up the way you want? do you wish it to work? But the other person doesn't? What can go wrong that can't first be prevented?
I think that the universal answer for this question is that yes. From experience, my expectation from the beginning of the relationship is extremely different compared to what it is at the end of the relationship. Though it usually depends on the partner and the experiences you have with her, the expectations you have at the beginning of the relationship would surely change from your expectations at the end of it.

a relationship never ends up the way you want. If anything can go wrong, it will go wrong.
