News has hit that Peter Andre and Katie Price are to split. The couple, who often argue and bicker, have finally gone one fight too far. Personally, I think they'll be back together in a few weeks, renewing their vows and signing up for magazine covers as fast as their split has hit the newstands, but that's not because I'm cynical, it's because I actually believe that they do love each other. What's gone wrong, however, is a total lack of respect for the other. They have argued publicly, slagged each other off and generally forgotten how to be nice to one another.
Having a relationship is about having a healthy respect for the person you love and treating them in a way as to not hurt their self-esteem or damage their confidence and inner being. It's about letting them be who they are and loving them for it.
Sex education in this country tends to focus on the biology of sex - if it focuses on anything at all as many schools do not incorporate it into their curriculum - and DCSF guidelines now say that sex and relationship education needs to focus more on healthy relationships and values.
AlterEgo runs a sex and relationship education course that does just this. Our 5 week course looks at what a healthy relationship is about, what abuse is in all it's different forms, how to conduct safe cyber relationships and generally, how to respect the person you love and overcome the difficulties you encounter - without perhaps going to the press to get revenge. Whilst that might have felt good to start with, Katie Price is playing a dangerous game. Today she says that she still loves Peter and doesn't want to split up. But by blaming him for the seperation, she is highly unlikely to enamour herself to him and be taken back. Perhaps it wasn't her that went to the press in the first place, perhaps it was indeed Peter who broke it all off....who knows...but I doubt it. Having met Peter a couple of times and spent a lengthy dinner with him talking about Katie and his relationship, I know that one thing is for sure and that is that he will be devastated. Not only about it ending but about losing his children, and that includes Harvey, who he has always considered his own. It's a very sad state of affairs and I truly hope they make it up. But only when they've decided to treat each other with the respect that what having a happy, healthy relationship is all about. Otherwise, it doesn't matter how much you love them, it's just not going to work.
