Most of the stories I hear from my friends concerning their relationships with other people vary depending on the current standing of the relationship.
If I could make a list of the types of stories, the could be summed up into two categories:
-The ones where they complain about their significant other
-The ones where they share how happy they are with their significant other

The first type is the one that happens the most, I think. The person usually starts by telling a story, which will eventually lead to the reason why they are mad at each other. As the book explains it, we do not like people to think we are heartless and selfsish beings, so, most of the time, these stories show how the other person's significant other is being mean and stuff like that. I've done this before, so I guess I know this from my own experience. It is hard to admit that you have made a mistake in a relationship. Most of the time, we like to make ourselves look as the mature and good ones in the relationship.
With the second type of story (the happy one), there is usually less details about what's going on. I guess this is because it is easier to complain about things in life.
