Form 1040 Schedule E: Fill & Download for Free

It appears he was “screwed” by the AMT.But without seeing all of the statements referenced in Trump’s 2005 form 1040 as well as the previous years, it’s hard to say for sure exactly how he ended up paying $36 million federal income tax on a net income of $49 million.In particular I would want to see his schedule A, schedule D, his schedule E and his schedule C and all other attached documentation including his STATEMENT 1, referring to and presumably detailing his operating losses of $103 million that year.However - Trump payed an ordinary tax rate of about 12% on the net income of $49 million minus deductions of $17 million, and the rest was payed as Alternative Minimum Tax, which is written down on line 44 of his 1040.The real mystery to me is how he managed to pay a rate of 12% on his net income, given that the top marginal rate was actually about 36% that year, and Trump’s AGI should be in the range where he is very nearly reaching that overall asymptotic tax rate, even after deductions. That, I don’t understand.He’s paying a rate which approaches. actually it’s better than, the rates which Mitt Romney achieved in 2010–2011, only Romney had much of his income in the form of carried interest, dividends and investments. So a lot of Romney’s income was taxed at the most favorable capital gains rate. Romney’s net income was much smaller and he had only a relatively small income from personal businesses. So far as I know Trump could not take advantage of the most favorable tax treatment for more than the $32 million that he declared in capital gains on his 1040.For example - suppose that Trump had claimed no losses and taken only the standard deduction in 2005.Then it looks as if his income should have required him to pay 36% of $150 million, or about $50 million. He did considerably better than that, but he still ended up paying a rate of about 25% on his gross income. So one might ask: Why did Trump choose to write off such a large loss in 2005?He had 18 years. starting in 1995, during which he could still carry that $900 million loss forward. $900 million / 18 = $50 million on average. So what accounts for the rest of that $103 million?Perhaps this year has a larger write off just because Trump had much more income to play with that year. Or perhaps there are other losses involved. It’s hard to say without seeing Statement 1.Trump listed about $17 million in itemized deductions. Much of that may have been disallowed under the AMT, and in addition he was not allowed to apply the full $103 million that he claimed in net operating losses. He had to add all of that income back in, when he started calculating his AMT. You will have noticed that we don’t have the tax preparer’s worksheet and we don’t have Trump’s form 6251.Alternative Minimum Tax: Common Questionshttps://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f6251.pdf(See line 10 of IRS 6251 above.)$70 million of the $150 million gross income was declared under real estate and S corporations, etcetera … the rules become very complex there.What can be said, if this is indeed an authentic document and this form is the same as the form that he submitted to the IRS, that it was not altered before being signed and submitted, and he actually payed all that tax, is that his income tax form in 2005 does not look like the income tax form of either a good businessman or a multi-billionaire, and certainly not a TEN BILLIONAIRE, as Trump claimed to be, in all caps, in his Federal Election Commission financial disclosure forms recently.Based on the taxable interest income that he declared on that form I would put his holdings in cash or short term bonds in 2005 at about $200 million. Based on his gross income, it is just barely plausible that he was worth a total $1 billion that year.But I would put it lower, I would take his net income and subtract the tax he payed. That puts him at about $13 million in net earnings for the year. Multiply that by a factor of ten, and add it to his holdings in cash and short term bonds and I would say he was probably worth on the order of $300–400 million that year, and those are likely pretty hard numbers. That’s a minimum.I would say he was worth $1 billion assuming that the $49 million represents a total 5% return on his net worth.If he was worth $10 billion that year, then $49 million would represent a pitiful return on investment. Furthermore, if he were a multi-billionaire, I would expect to see far more of his net worth being actively invested, say in stocks (the stock market was up 12% in 2004 and 5% in 2005), than there is evidence of on that form. He had only $32 million in realized capital gains.He should have been able to make $500 million on ten billion dollars in that year without even thinking.It just doesn’t add up. It takes a very long time to get to $10 BILLION even on a net annual income of $150 million.In all likelihood 2005 was one of Trump’s best years. This form has probably been been released by Trump himself or sources close to Trump because the news is going badly for him of late and he probably thought it would be a good time to rehabilitate the buzz about him being wealthier than God himself right now.But we really need 30 years worth of his tax returns with all supporting documentation to begin to say with any degree of certainty what he might be worth. Nothing less will suffice.The most interesting information of course would be what were the sources of income and what corporations and entities are named.

Lahore is the capital city of the province of Punjab, the second largest metropolitan area in Pakistan and the 18th most populous city in the world. It is an important historical center in South Asia. With a rich history dating back over a millennium, Lahore is a main cultural center of the Punjab region and Pakistan, and is the largest Punjabi city in the world. Lahore remains an economic, political, transportation, entertainment, and educational hub of Pakistan.HISTORY:Lahore served as the regional capital of the empires of the Hindu Shahi kingdom in the 11th century, the Ghaznavids in the 12th century, the Ghurid State in the 12th and 13th centuries and the Mughal Empire in the 16th century. From 1802 to 1849, Lahore served as the capital city of the Sikh Empire. In the mid-19th and early 20th century, Lahore was the capital of the Punjab region under the British Raj. The traditional capital of Punjab for a millennium, Lahore was the cultural centre of the northern Indian subcontinent which extends from the eastern banks of the Indus River to New Delhi. Mughal structures such as the Badshahi Mosque, the Lahore Fort, Shalimar Gardens, the mausolea of Jehangir and Nur Jahan are some of the major tourist attractions in the city. Lahore is also home to many British colonial structures built in the Indo-Saracenic style, such as the General Post Office, Lahore Museum and many older universities and colleges.Lahore is referred to as the cultural heart of Pakistan as it hosts most of the arts, cuisine, festivals, music, film-making, gardening and intelligentsia of the country. The city has always been a center for publications where 80% of Pakistan's books are published, and it remains the foremost center of literary, educational and cultural activity in Pakistan.t is also home to hundreds of temples, mosques, churches and shrines.According to the latest 1998 census, Lahore's population was 6,319,000.In July 2014, Index Mundi put the population of the city at 7,566,000. An estimate in January 2015 gave the population of the Lahore agglomeration as 10,052,000. It is ranked 34 in the most populated urban areas in the world and the 8th largest city within the Organization of Islamic Cooperation. The area of Lahore has almost doubled in the last 12 to 14 years, nevertheless any population estimate should be taken with a grain of salt as the census has been missing in action, one is scheduled for 2016. In 2010, Lahore was ranked as a Gamma+ world city. The Guardian has rated Lahore as the 2nd best tourist destination in Pakistan after TaxilaA legend based on oral traditions holds that Lahore, known in ancient times as Lavapura,[12] was founded by Prince Lava or Loū,[13][14] the son of Sita and Rama, the king of Ayodhya and an avatar of the Hindu god Vishnu according to the Ramayana epic. The city of Kasur was founded by his twin brother, Prince Kusha.[15] To this day, Lahore Fort has a vacant temple dedicated to Lava (also pronounced Loh, hence Loh-awar or "The Fort of Loh").[16][17] Ptolemy, the celebrated 2nd-century Egyptian astronomer and geographer, mentions in his Geographia a city called Labokla situated on the route between the Indus River and Palibothra, or Pataliputra (Patna) mostly, in a tract of country called Kasperia (Kashmir). It was described as extending along the rivers Bidastes or Vitasta (Jhelum), Sandabal or Chandra Bhaga (Chenab), and Adris or Iravati (Ravi). This city may have been ancient Lahore.[18]The oldest authentic surviving document about Lahore was written anonymously in 982. It is called Hudud al-'Alam (The Regions of the World).[19] In 1927 it was translated into English by Vladimir Minorsky and published in Lahore. In this document, Lahore is mentioned as a town being invaded by Arabic savages "impressive temples, large markets and huge orchards." It refers to "two major markets around which dwellings exist", and it also mentions "the mud walls that enclose these two dwellings to make it one." The original document is currently held in the British Museum. Lahore was called by different names throughout history. To date there is no conclusive evidence as to when it was founded. Some historians trace the history of the city as far back as 4000 years ago. However, historically, it has been proved that Lahore is at least 2,000 years old. Hieun-tsang, the famous Chinese pilgrim has given a vivid description of Lahore which he visited in the early parts of the 7th century. Lahore has been ruled and plundered by a number of dynasties and hordes.Lahore is described as a Hindu principality in the Rajput accounts. Keneksen, the founder of Suryavansha is believed to have migrated out from the city.[24] The Solanki tribe, belonging to Amukhara Pattan which included the Bhatti Rajputs of Jaisalmer "point to Lahore" as their place of earliest settlement. In 1241, Lahore was invaded by Mongols. Though Timur captured the city in 1397, he did not loot it because "it was not rich then".Lahore appears as the capital of the Punjab for the first time under Anandapala – the Hindu Shahi king who is referred to as the ruler of (hakim i lahur) –after leaving the earlier capital of Waihind. Few references to Lahore remain from before its capture by Sultan Mahmud of Ghaznavi in the 11th century. The sultan took Lahore after a long siege and battle in which the city was torched and depopulated. In 1021, Sultan Mahmud appointed Malik Ayaz to the throne and made Lahore the capital of the Ghaznavid Empire. As the first Muslim governor of Lahore, Ayaz rebuilt and repopulated the city. He added many important features, such as city gates and a masonry fort, built in 1037–1040 on the ruins of the previous one, which had been demolished in the fighting (as recorded by Munshi Sujan Rae Bhandari, author of the Khulasatut Tawarikh in 1695–96). The present Lahore Fort stands on the same location. Under Ayaz's rule, the city became a cultural and academic centre, renowned for poetry. The tomb of Malik Ayaz can still be seen in the Rang Mahal commercial area of town.After the fall of the Ghaznavid Empire, Lahore was ruled by Turko-Afghan dynasties based in Delhi, known as the Delhi Sultanate,[29] including the Khiljis, Tughlaqs, Mamluk, Sayyid and Lodhis. During the reign of Qutbu l-Din Aibak, Lahore was known as the 'Ghazni of India'. Scholars and poets from as far away as Kashghar, Bukhara, Samarkand, Iraq, Khorasan and Herat, gathered in Lahore and made it a city of learning. Under Aibak, Lahore had more poets of Persian than any other Islamic city.[31] In 1286, Prince Muhammad, who was the son of Balban was defeated in an encounter with the Mongols in the city.In the early 16th century, Babur, a Timurid descendant of Timur and Genghis Khan from Fergana Valley (modern day Uzbekistan), swept across the Khyber Pass and founded the Mughal Empire, covering modern day Afghanistan, Pakistan, and India.[33] The Mughals were descended from Central Asian Turco-Mongols. Lahore reached the zenith of its glory during the Mughal rule from 1524 to 1752. Lahore reached the peak of its architectural glory during the rule of the Mughals, many of whose buildings and gardens have survived the ravages of time.Humayun, his son married Hamida Banu Begum in Lahore while fleeing to Persia. It was also the headquarters of Mughal rule during Akbar between 1584 to 1598. Thus along with Agra and Delhi, it became an "alternate seat of imperial court". Akbar also held discussions with Portuguese missionaries in the city. Abul Fazl, his court historian calls it a "a great city in Bari Doab, in magnificance and populousness it has few equals".The Mughal period in Lahore ended with Nader Shah's conquest in 1738. Lahore was part of Nader Shah's Persia between 1738 and 1747 and part of the Durrani Empire between 1747 and 1758.In 1758, the Maratha Empire's general Raghunathrao conquered Lahore, Attock and Peshawar, and drove out Timur Shah Durrani, the son and viceroy of Ahmad Shah Abdali. Lahore, Multan, Peshawar, Kashmir and other subahs on the south and eastern side of Attock were under the Maratha rule for the most part. In Punjab and Kashmir, the Marathas were now major players. In 1761, following the victory at the Third Battle of Panipat between the Durrani and the Maratha Empire, Ahmad Shah Abdali captured remnants of the Maratha Empire in Punjab and Kashmir regions and consolidated control over them.During the late 18th century, frequent invasions by the Durrani Empire and the Maratha Empire due to the decline of the Mughal Empire, led to a lack of governance in the Punjab region. The Sikh Misls were in close combat with the Durrani Empire, but began to gain territory and eventually the Bhangi Misl captured Lahore. When Zaman Shah invaded Punjab again in 1799 Maharaja Ranjit Singh was able to make gains in the chaos. He defeated Zaman in a battle between Lahore and Amritsar. The citizens of Lahore, encouraged by Sada Kaur, offered him the city and he was able to take control of it in a series of battles with the Bhangi Misl and their allies.Lahore served as the capital city of the Sikh Empire in accordance with Lahore being the capital of Punjab. While much of Lahore's Mughal era fabric lay in ruins by the end of 18th century a close struggle to gain control, rebuilding efforts under the Sikh Empire were shaped by and indebted to Mughal practice. Maharaja Ranjit Singh moved into the Mughal palace in Lahore's citadel. By 1812 he had mostly refurbished the city's defences by adding a second circuit of outer walls that followed the outline of Akbar's original walls and were separated from them by a moat. The Maharaja also partially restored Shah Jahan's decaying gardens at Shalimar, and British maps of the area surrounding Lahore dating from the mid-19th century show that walled private gardens – many of them bearing the names of prominent Sikh nobles – continued in the Mughal pattern under Sikh rule. The Sikh court continued to endow religious architecture in the city, including a number of Sikh gurdwaras, Hindu temples and mosques.Maharaja Ranjit Singh made Lahore his capital and was able to expand the kingdom to the Khyber Pass and also included Jammu and Kashmir, while keeping the British East India Company from expanding across the River Sutlej for more than 40 years. After his death in 1839 the internecine fighting between the Sikhs and several rapid forfeitures of territory by his sons, along with the intrigues of the Dogras and two Anglo-Sikh wars, eventually led to East India Company control of the Punjab ten years later. For the East India Company, the Punjab was a frontier province, because the region had boundaries with Afghanistan. Therefore, the Punjabis, unlike the Bengalis and Sindhis, were discouraged from using their mother tongue as an official language out of fear of Nationalism. The British first introduced Urdu as an official language in Punjab, including Lahore, allegedly due to a fear of Punjabi nationalism. Under the British (1849–1947), architecture in Lahore combined Mughal, Gothic and Victorian styles.Under the British, Sir Ganga Ram (referred to as the father of modern Lahore) designed and built the General Post Office, Lahore Museum, Aitchison College, Mayo School of Arts (now the NCA), Ganga Ram Hospital, Lady Mclagan Girls High School, the chemistry department of the Government College University, the Albert Victor wing of Mayo Hospital, Sir Ganga Ram High School (now Lahore College for Women) the Hailey College of Commerce, Ravi Road House for the Disabled, the Ganga Ram Trust Building on Shahrah-e-Quaid-e-Azam, and the Lady Maynard Industrial School.Lahore played a special role in the independence movements of India. The 1929 Indian National Congress session was held at Lahore. In this Congress, the Declaration of the Independence of India was moved by Jawaharlal Nehru and passed unanimously at midnight on 31 December 1929. On this occasion, the Swaraj flag (with a charkha at its centre) was adopted by the Congress. Lahore's prison was used by the British to detain revolutionaries. Noted independence activist Jatin Das died in Lahore's prison after fasting for 63 days in protest of British treatment of political prisoners. One of the most famous martyrs in the history of Indian independence, Shaheed Sardar Bhagat Singh, was hanged here. The most important session of the All India Muslim League (later the Pakistan Muslim League), demanding the creation of Pakistan, was held in Lahore in 1940. Muslims under the leadership of Muhammad Ali Jinnah demanded a separate homeland for Muslims of India in a document known as the Pakistan Resolution or the Lahore Resolution. It was during this session under the leadership of Muhammad Ali Jinnah, the leader of the league, that Muslims League publicly proposed the Two-Nation Theory for the first time.Upon the independence of Pakistan, Lahore was made capital of the Punjab province in the new state of Pakistan. Almost immediately, large scale riots broke out among Muslims, Sikhs and Hindus, causing many deaths as well as damage to historic monuments—including the Lahore Fort, Badshahi mosque and colonial buildings.After independence and its deep impact, Lahore as so many times before, once again gained its significance as an economic and cultural powerhouse of the region, through government reforms. The second Islamic Summit Conference was held in the city in 1974.LAHORE:Expo Centre LahoreThe Lahore Expo Centre is one of the biggest projects in the history of the city and was inaugurated on 22 May 2010.Defense Raya Golf Resort, also under construction, will be Pakistan's and Asia's largest golf course. The project is the result of a partnership between DHA Lahore and BRDB Malaysia. The rapid development of large projects such as these in the city is expected to boost the economy of the country.[70] Ferozepur Road of the Central Business Districts of Lahore contains high-rises and skyscrapers including Kayre International Hotel and Arfa Software Technology Park.Lahore MetroThe Lahore Metro or Lahore Rapid Mass Transit System (LRMTS) was first proposed in 1991. Funding was not secured, and in 2012 it was abandoned by the Punjab Government in favour of the more cost–effective Lahore Metro Bus System which opened in February 2013. However, in May 2014 the Punjab Government decided to restart development on the Lahore Metro as a $1.6 billion project with Chinese assistance. The Orange Line, which will be 27.1-kilometre (16.8 mi) long, (25.4 kilometres (15.8 mi) of which will be elevated), will be the first line of the project and is under construction.Several bus companies operate in Lahore. Premier Bus Services, owned by the Beaconhouse Group, was started in 2003, and provides transportation services to the general public in Lahore. With over 240 buses running on exclusive routes, it is the largest public transport company in Pakistan. As of 2010, the buses are in the process of being converted to compressed natural gas for environmental and economic reasons.Sammi Daewoo's City Bus Division operates three routes within the city and two suburban routes for Gujranwala and Sheikhupura.The Daewoo City Bus also operates routes within Lahore. Its headquarters are located in the city of Lahore. It is operated by a Korean company, Sammi. On 11 February 2013, Punjab Government launched Rapid Bus Transit System (MBS) in Lahore.Allama Iqbal International AirportThe government built a new city airport in 2003. It was named Allama Iqbal International Airport after the national poet-philosopher of Pakistan, Allama Muhammad Iqbal, and is served by international airlines as well as the national flag carrier, Pakistan International Airlines. The old terminal now operates as the Hajj terminal to facilitate the great influx of pilgrims travelling to Saudi Arabia to perform the hajj every year. Lahore also has a general aviation airport known as Walton Airport.The Lahore Fort, locally referred to as Shahi Qila citadel of the city of Lahore, Punjab, Pakistan. It is located in the northwestern corner of Lahore, adjacent to the Walled City. Sites within the fort include Sheesh Mahal, Alamgiri Gate, Naulakha pavilion, and Moti Masjid. The fort is 1,400 feet long and 1,115 feet wide. In 1981, the fort was inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site along with the Shalamar Gardens.Badshahi MasjidThe Badshahi Masjid (Urdu: بادشاھی مسجد), or the Emperor's Masjid, was built in 1673 by the Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb in Lahore, Pakistan. It is one of the city's best known landmarks, and a major tourist attraction epitomizing the beauty and grandeur of the Mughal era.Capable of accommodating over 55,000 worshipers, it is the second largest Masjid in Pakistan, after the Faisal Masjid in Islamabad. The architecture and design of the Badshahi Masjid is closely related to the Jama Masjid in Delhi, India, which was built in 1648 by Aurangzeb's father and predecessor, emperor Shah Jahan.Data Durbar is the tomb of Hazrat Syed Abul Hassan Bin Usman Bin Ali Al-Hajweri, the Sufi saint of South Asia, where hundreds of thousands of people come each year to pay their respects and to say their prayers. It is located in Lahore, Punjab, Pakistan. The large complex also includes Jamia Hajveria, or Hajveri Masjid.Other well known Masjids inside the Walled City areSuneri Mosque,Masjid of Mariyam Zamani,Doongi MasjidDai Anga MosqueMUSEAMS:Lahore MuseumFakir Khana MuseumAllama Iqbal MuseumShakir Ali MuseumChughtai MuseumHISTORICAL PLACES:Samadhi of Maharaja Ranjit SinghAli Mardan Khan's TombAllama Iqbal's TombAnarkali's TombAsaf Khan's TombBhai Vasti Ram's SamadhiBuddhu's TombCypress TombDai Anga's TombJahangir's TombKuri Bagh TombMai Dai's TombMian Khan's TombMian Mir's ShrineNadira Begam's TombNoor Jahan's TombNusrat Khan's TombPrince Pervez's TombQutb-ud-din Aibak's TombRanjit Singh's SamadhiSaleh Kamboh's TombSir Ganga Ram's SamadhiZafar Jang Kokaltash's tombZeb-un-Nisa's TombSheikh Musa Ahangar's ShrineKhawaja Mehmud's ShrineMir Niamat Khan's TombJani Khan's TombRasul Shahyun's TombNizam-ud-Din's ShrineSiraj-ud-Din Gilani's ShrineGul Begam's TombBhai Taru Singh's SamadhiThere are many havelis inside the Walled City of Lahore, some in good condition while others need urgent attention.

Many gardens were built in Lahore during the Mughal era, some of which still survive. The Shalimar Gardens were laid out during the reign of Shah Jahan and were designed to mimic the Islamic paradise of the afterlife described in the Qur'an. The gardens follow the familiar charbagh layout of four squares, with three descending terraces. The Lawrence Gardens were established in 1862 and were originally named after Sir John Lawrence, late 19th-century British Viceroy to India. The many other gardens and parks in the city include Hazuri Bagh, Iqbal Park, Mochi Bagh, Gulshan Iqbal Park, Model Town Park, Race Course Park, Nasir Bagh Lahore, Jallo Park, Wild Life Park, and Changa Manga, an artificial forest near Lahore in the Kasur district. Another example is the Bagh-e-Jinnah, a 141-acre (57 ha) botanical garden that houses entertainment and sports facilities as well as a library.EDUCATION IN LAHORE:Lahore is known as Pakistan's educational capital, with more colleges and universities than any other city in Pakistan. Lahore is Pakistan's largest producer of professionals in the fields of science, technology, IT, engineering, medicine, nuclear sciences, pharmacology, telecommunication, biotechnology and microelectronics, nanotechnology and the only future hyper high tech centre of Pakistan .[82] Most of the reputable universities are public, but in recent years there has also been an upsurge in the number of private universities. The current literacy rate of Lahore is 74%. Lahore hosts some of Pakistan's oldest educational institutes:Government College UniversityGovernment College University, Lahore, established in 1864Forman Christian College, a chartered university, established in 1864Islamia College (Lahore), established in 1892University of the Punjab, established in 1882[83]Kinnaird College, established in 1913Lahore College for Women University, established in 1922Queen Mary College, Lahore, established in 1908University of Engineering and Technology, Lahore), established in 1921

“**Shouldn’t the mother of your child try and build you up to be the best father and potential husband possible?**”Hi Tone,The short answer is yes, with the added caveat that it is reciprocated.The tone of your question leads me to believe that you and your child’s mother are having relational difficulties. With that in mind, then, the “should” is taken as a request to be right in some ongoing conflict the two of you have.There are several points on which your desire to be built up (and what you may be perceiving as her resistance to this desire) rests. This is from a paper I wrote earlier this year on Intimate partner relationship and sex in terms of attachment style.**Caretaking**Within the primacy of the partner relationship, there exists a caretaking property that must be fulfilled in order for most other qualitative states to be satisfactory or better, and that is the notion that each partner cares for and tends to the needs of the other. They know one another, they are interested in one another, and they seek to build one another up by genuinely liking one another—not because of how the other makes them feel about them self, but out of true affection, respect, and regard for the other. (I have an entire workshop on this.)When this fundamental of the successful couple union breaks down, empathy and compassion tend to leave the building and this is when resentments, hostilities, and conflict arise. This is especially true after babies are born.**Adult Attachment Style**Caretaking can be somewhat crippled by insecure Attachment styles learned in infancy and early childhood. When one or both partners has an insecure attachment style, the research shows that relationship tends to suffer (Mikulincer and Shaver, 2007). Couples in which one or both partners experience an insecure attachment style have a positive correlation of negative relational behaviors (Dainton & Gross, 2008; Goodboy et al., 2010). Distressed relationships are marked by lower relationship satisfaction, commitment, and intimacy (e.g., Davila and Bradbury, 2001; Keelan et al., 1994; Treboux, Crowell, & Waters, 2004), as well as more conflict and less stable relationships marked by shorter duration and higher breakup rates (Hazan and Shaver, 1987; Kirkpatrick and Davis, 1994; Treboux et al., 2004).The main qualities of partner satisfaction are partner responsiveness and emotional engagement—without them, research shows outcomes of low relationship quality and higher rates of divorce (Gottman, 1994; Huston, Caughlin, Houts, Smith, and George, 2001; Johnson, 2004).Dysfunctional caregiving within a couple tends to activate insecure attachment coping strategies. When a partner makes a bid for proximity in the partner relationship (or in your case, wants to be built up and reassured) and the other partner fails to respond in a way that is reassuring, it produces a host of worries, negative attitudes, and destructive behaviors in the partner seeking reassurance. They increase the needier partner’s relationship-specific attachment insecurities, which can then set off avoidant behavior from the other. Once this interaction comes into play, the partner who is more anxious or needy may behave more ambivalently toward the partner they were seeking reassurance from and this looks like distancing, because s/he wasn’t going to get their needs met anyway and this coping strategy allows them some sense of autonomy and control, though simply reinforcing the insecure attachment.**The correlate of relational and sexual satisfaction**A tripartite model of behavioral systems: the attachment system, the caregiving system, and the sexual system positively or negatively impacts both relational and sexual satisfaction within the dyad couple framework (Shaver, Hazan, & Bradshaw, 1988; Mikulincer and Shaver, 2007). Secure attachment and caregiving systems generally show stronger correlation to sexual and relational satisfaction (Holmes & Johnson, 2009; Peloquin, Brassard, LaFontaine, & Shaver, 2014). The more insecure one or both partners’ attachment quality is, the more compromised one or both partners feel within their Adult Romantic Attachment. People who want to experience more positive relational and sexual satisfaction can improve various components of their relational style, the most fundamental factor of those being moving from an insecure attachment style to a more secure attachment style, called earned secure attachment. The couple dyad is negatively affected as a unit when one or both actors is acting out or on the receiving end of these insecure behaviors, and relational satisfaction is diminished. Additionally, research has shown that when negative relational behaviors are employed within relationship, sexual satisfaction is diminished. Sexual behavior, sexual identity, and sexual satisfaction are related to attachment style (Fricker & Moore, 2002; Morrison, Goodlin-Jones, & Urquiza, 1997). Relational and sexual satisfaction have co- variants with gender. Women tend to derive more sexual satisfaction with relational satisfaction and men tend to derive more relational satisfaction with sexual satisfaction. Anxious and Avoidant attachment styles are associated with distinct relational and sexual dissatisfaction as they have different coping strategies for dealing with and regulating distress; both interfere with adaptive relational functioning (Dewitte, 2012).There is a positive correlation between secure attachment and relational satisfaction, as well as secure attachment and sexual satisfaction.**References & Citations**Anderson, M., Kunkel, A., & Dennis, M.
