You may have heard in any psychology discussion that everybody tries to satisfy his or her ego. Ego is the paramount object in psychology which drives lives of people. People keep trying to satisfy their ego. If this ego is hurt then they become unconsciously sick. No medicine works with these people. They become depressed.

When two people unite in a marriage or a live in relationship; their egos often clash. One of them has to sacrifice to let the other person's ego getting satisfied. If this does not happen then egos of both partners are hurt. In this case, it becomes a case of "no go" and so the relationship will end.

At the extreme end of this case of ego getting hurt is the case when one person continuously has been satisfying the other partner's ego at the cost of hurting his or her own ego. Ego of one partner also keeps increasing in size with time with the level of activities which form his or her ego. Apart from egos, there is one more problem. If one partner's ability to satisfy ego of his or her partner becomes not a viable solution then again the unsatisfied ego problem happens as he or she no longer can satisfy ego of his or her partner. He or she simply has reached to a point where they do not have more capacity to satisfy ego of his or her partner. So unsatisfied ego problem occurs. Relationship Psychology tries to tackle this kind of problem.

Relationship Psychology is a very interesting subject. It is interesting because when there is only one person against the whole society or unnamed or invisible person then it is easy to solve the psychological problem that person is facing. Solving the problem is simple as it will involve satisfying his or her ego. Doing so will not hurt ego of any other person. But when 2 people are involved then it really becomes complicated. More so when the relationship between them is a delicate one. Relationship Psychology involves soothing egos of both partners. This is like a double edged sword. Even when you try to defend yourself, you are also getting hurt.

Relationship Psychology deals with solving the problem from a different angle. It is like solving a jigsaw puzzle by coming out first; see the problem from a different platform so that you no longer belong to the space occupied by the problem itself. You detach yourself completely from the environment in which the problem exists. Then you can see the problem from a different perspective and in fact you will be seeing the whole problem from this space. Now you can solve the problem with more accuracy. Now you can realize that relationship psychology is not easy.
