Nonbinary Postformal complex thinking and logic seems useful for relating in a satisfying way to those who are close to us. Some reasons for unhappiness in this area can be found by examining emotional life, attachments, maturity, and social situations and expectations. But other reasons for less satisfying interactions with those closest to us may be connected with our ability to think in nonbinary ways about our relationships and our partners. In the case of relationships, more complex types of thought may be useful to allow us to experience satisfying, loving, long-term interactions that are not so easily derailed by the difficulties of life or the differences between us.
