Dr. Dee Challenge (Refer to Chapter 1 in this manual for a model set of guidance.)

I. Esteemed Dr. Dee,

I have decided to end my relationship with my partner, however, I wish to minimize the impact on his sentiments. A friend suggested that I gradually withdraw from the relationship by occasional meetings. What is your opinion?

Sally So Good

II. Respected Dr. Dee,

The previous partner of my friend, Bob, had a rather adventurous personality, quite unlike his previous companions. Presently, he is involved with someone even more daring. What could be the reason behind this change? Is he experiencing an early mid-life crisis?

A concerned companion

Related notions:

I. According to the hypothesis of partial reinforcement (316), this approach might prove unwise. It could possibly prolong his pursuit to mend the relationship. A clear break could lead to a quicker recovery from the separation, as the extinction process would be less drawn out.

II. The peak shift effect may explain this phenomenon. Bob possibly found his time with the very adventurous woman (an SD) more pleasurable compared to his previous partners (S∆s). Subsequently, he is inclining more towards a wilder lifestyle, moving away from a conservative approach, assuming that greater thrill-seeking is favorable. (Bear in mind, a reality check might be imminent.) (325-327)
