Conscious Uncoupling There is a lot of media buzz about Gwyneth Paltrow’s remarks about the challenges of motherhood as a famous actor and her posting about “conscious uncoupling” from Chris Martin. I don’t know if “conscious uncoupling” is a new term or a new status on Facebook – changing from “couple” to “uncouple.” It certainly deserves some serious explanation. For mathematic nerds, there are four possible computations and permutations (2 X 2 = 4). They are “conscious uncoupling”, “conscious coupling”, “unconscious uncoupling”, and “unconscious coupling.” I will attempt to explain the differences, as I understand them:
Conscious uncoupling, the term that Paltrow used, would be a separation or divorce. It is also known as Coitus Interruptus in intimate situations.
Conscious coupling is just the opposite; usually engagement or marriage. In many situations, it is sex between consenting adults.
Unconscious uncoupling would be coitus interruptus where one partner, passes out and falls off.
Unconscious coupling occurs when one (or more) partner is unaware of what is happening due to alcohol or drugs.
I hope that helps to clear up any confusion.
