https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hyHsDLdMZRQ

The story involves lovers Ron and Myles who despite being in love had a fall out due to faulty
communication they had throughout their relationship.

Symbolic interaction is displayed between the two as they live their relationship. Myles is an
independent woman, one thing Ron admires about her. However being so for long lead to often
forgetting about Ron, doing things without him. This action was perceived by Ron as neglect and Myles
not loving him. This is the root their problems that follows. They still talk and stayed as lovers but Ron
doubts Myles because of her actions. There is a fault in terms of reciprocal communication between Ron
and Myles. When Ron felt neglect, he communicated his dissatisfaction to Myles. Although she did
communicate back, but failed to notice the symbolic meaning within those words, how he was hurting.
There is no clear exchange of ideas and feelings as their character serves as a noise to properly decoding
the message. Myles being independent while Ron wanting assurance and interdependent relationship.
Now comes entropy, their differences became a disorder in the system of their communication. As Ron
feels Myles not getting his intentions and vice versa, they gave up on their relationship. It was mostly
Ron perceiving uncertainty from previous miscommunication with his girlfriend and voiced he wanted
out. After meeting again year after, both matured and realised their flaws, they got back together but
with a better touch to each other’s emotions and healthy communication.
