To me you are comparing apples and oranges. Behaviour is one thing and who you are is another thing. Sure, they are related but there are other factors as well.
It's just that relationships or roles are different - being a friend is different than being a spouse or a teacher or a therapist or a salesman or a parent or whoever. The person is the same but different roles warrant different behaviour.
