Rules are apart of everyday life, we even learned how rules play part in our feelings back in chapter 7. In chapter 10, we get to learn more about rules within relationships. Without rules to help guide our day to day relationships, people may get offended. People do not want to intentionally upset a friend or a loved one that they have developed an intimate relationship with. The text provides a great example of a relationship rule that friends might have regarding time. It would be okay to arrive at a friends house 5 minuets after the time scheduled to arrive but not 40 minuets as this would be a sign of disrespect. A relationship rule that one of my buddies and I follow is to respect each others thoughts. If there is something that either one of us is opinionated about we respect the opinion and are entitled to offer our own opinion without worrying about offending the other person.
