Have your previous relationships conformed to conventional expectations of relationships? How or how not?
Some have, and some have not. In high school when dating was still new to both me and my boyfriend at the time, I believe our relationship was conventional. We hung out after school, on weekends, would sneak around our parents back to see each other, and of course to explore each other. Though the physical side of the relationship didn’t go far, for our age we were compatible emotionally in comparison to other relationships my high school friends were in at the time.
Later on, in adulthood, I can very well admit that none of my relationships have been conventionally expected relationships. I have experienced what I like to call a modern day relationship. In today’s day and age where dating apps seem to be the main opportunity to meet people, it has turned into applications that look for sexual partners as opposed to a committed relationship. While I have dated various different people on these apps, only one person had the potential of turning into something more long term. Though unfortunately, it didn’t go my way, I still experienced a very memorable experience with this person. After a week of speaking daily, via text, and a couple times in person, I had felt comfortable enough with this person to allow our relationship to go one step further. I was twenty-two at the time and I had yet to have sex before meeting this person. I knew, that in ten or twenty years to come, I didn’t want to regret my decision. I knew that I wanted this moment to be with someone I felt comfortable with, someone who wouldn’t judge me, and overall someone who wouldn’t make me feel self-conscious over my body.
How have the expectations of your family, friends, religious groups, or other significant reference groups influenced your selection of a romantic partner or your hopes about what a future partner might be like?
At this point in my life, I have friends who belong to serious religious groups and some that annoy my immediate family, some that my friends might not even get along with. In terms of making friends, I choose my friends carefully in terms of whether they are compatible with me and my standards. In terms of a partner in the future, the selection is much more narrow since in my books they have to appeal to all my family and my friends. In terms of religious, although I am Catholic, I do not practice the religion of Christianity, so when it comes to picking my partner, I don’t think I would be compatible with someone who practices Christianity religiously, not would I be able to commit myself to someone strongly involved with any other religion, only because I don’t believe I can relate to them. If that religion is a strong aspect of who they are, and I can’t relate to that because of my beliefs I can’t imagine a relationship working out.
What have gender roles looked like in your relationships, or how do you hope gender roles will function in your future relationships? What factors in your life have shaped your expectations for the ways that gender roles will be understood in your past, current, or future relationships?
Throughout my various relationships, the gender roles in our relationship have been fairly stereotypical. Myself I am much more of a tomboy person, I grew up with broad shoulders, and helped my dad a lot with different construction projects throughout my life, that I am more knowledge about construction, plumbing, electrical, and other stereotypical male things to be known. Although I haven’t experienced a relationship long enough for my partners to realize this about me, it’s affected some friendships in a positive way. I now currently live with a roommate, and we have an inside joke that if we were a married couple. She would be the wife and I would be the handyman husband. In future, I would like that how I grew up, has made me grown into a person that will stand on two feet. Since I was a kid, the stereotypical female in the relationship, was never smart, or smarter than the male at least. From a young age, I decided to never play dumb, to never be conceived as an unintelligent human being, I would always like to come across as an independent woman. Having this close to heart is what has encouraged me to learn about other things I am not familiar with.
How have your relationships reflected broader cultural values, or how might you expect future relationships to reflect broader cultural values?
I don’t believe my previous relationships have affected cultural values. I believe that if my future partner is a different race than myself, that is when my cultural values will change. Though until that happens, none of my previous relationships have affected cultural values.
How have other institutions (such as religion, the economy, education) shaped the way your relationships appear or function, or the way you hope your future relationships to function?
In terms of past relationships, one of the deal breakers is their level of education, when swiping on my dating apps, if there isn’t a university listed or a well-known job that clearly requires a university degree, it’s rare that I would swipe in the right direction. The only other institute that I could see being an issue would be of economic status. I mean this in a sense, that although someone has gone to university, I would like to see that they have the drive and aren’t permanently thinking in working at Starbucks for the rest of their lives. Another reason this might be an issue at this exact moment in time is that while I am currently a student, I will not have the same economic status as my partner. Meaning that when date nights occur, I would like to contribute to our date, though I would not like to spend an outrageous about of money for a meal.
