Unrealistic expectations are the culprit in relationship problems. Dr. Wolinsky looks at the root causes of unrealistic expectations: separation, resistance to separation, and desire for merger. It is the unresolved resistance to separation which leads people to expect partners to act as parents and fulfill past-time needs in the present. The further extension of this subconscious demand is not "seeing" or experiencing the partner as a human being in the present.

User Reviews about Intimate Relationships: Why They Do and Do Not Work
A very good book for anyone looking to move forward with awareness in relationship. Filled with lists of questions for you (and ideally your partner) to do. It covers basic psychology, biology, and spirituality of intimate relationships and how unexamined and unrealistic expectations will cause couples to separate.
Very worthwhile. -- The other is not here to meet your needs.
