In this study the authors explore the issues of social distancing and conflict resolution in lesbian relationships. The authors surveyed 275 lesbians about the extent of fusion in their relationships, sources of conflict, and styles of conflict resolution. Results with a nonclinical sample indicated that lesbians reported moderate levels of fusion in their relationships. Furthermore, two subscales of fusion-fusion time issues and sharing-were produced from these data. Sharing large amounts of time with lesbian partners apparently was not problematic for many couples. However, sharing concrete items (e.g., money, clothing, or car) and professional services (e.g., physician or therapist) made maintaining appropriate boundaries more difficult. Participants who reported high sharing fusion tended to report more sources of conflict and poorer conflict resolution strategies with their partners, including physical aggresion and violence. |
