**5.4 Approach-Avoidance conflict**

This is also a very tough and complex conflict to resolve. For the simple reason that in this kind of struggle, the target of one's desires serves as both an attraction and a repulsion. In this case, the target item will be emotionally charged in two ways. The pleasant valence first draws the guy in, but the negative valence pushes him away. Frustration and stress result from being drawn to the target but unable to approach it.

Aman wants to get married and start a family, but he has little interest in taking on parental obligations.
