As there are advantages to forging intimate relationships there are also disadvantages to escalating relationships. Although it is great to be open with a other person it can also leave you personally exposed and in a vulnerable position. All information you shared in a relationship might be revealed to cause harm and embarrassment. Also if you are in a romantic relationship and the other partner ends the relationship a person can experience heartache and lost of trust. Escalating a relationship can also open a person to interpersonal aggression.
The books says people are more likely to be malicious and hurtful in close relationships than they are in social relationships. It's a little crazy to think we hurt the ones we love the most but it is true. I am not sure why people do this but I see it so much, we claim we care for each other but in the end we just end up hurting each other. You see this often in romantic relationships were couples hurt each other, in most cases we are often hurt by the ones we love the most.
However some of these disadvantages mentioned cause some people to avoid establishing relationships all together. I believe escalating a relationship does involve risk and trust, if you never take that risk you just might miss out on a great relationship whether it be a romantic or friendly relationship.
