Frame description
The lexical units in this frame have to do with Partners involved in personal relationships; sometimes they are mentioned separately (as Partner_1 and Partner_2). Some of the words denote people engaged in a particular kind of relationship, others denote the relationship itself, and still others the events bringing about or ending the relationships. Read the Details for these lexical units carefully -- German and English speakers use many of them in very different ways (in relation to both cultural meaning and grammatical use)!
