From the Paper:

"One area of communication lacking in the relationship between my boyfriend and I is the failure to create meaning when engaging in conversation. It seems as though both of us are feverishly trying to prove our point, we rarely stop to receive information. The ironic part is that we both claim that one person is not listening to the other. In the heat of the moment, it is hard to stop to organize the conversation so that we can share the role of sender and receiver in order to bring meaning to our conversation. Personally, I believe that we are both so overwhelmed with emotions; the ability to gain composure is disabled. Another interpersonal communication problem that I encounter often in my relationship often occurs in the situational context."
