“I am currently ‘struggling’ with the phrases.” (rather than ‘struggled’, which is past tense)
“in relation to” = when comparing things that are ‘related’ (of the same type, relative).
“with regard to” = when speaking ‘about’ something (pertinent, pertaining to).
“in/with reference to” = when identifying the particular topic within the request (referring).
Examples: In relation to your need to purchase a house, there are presently no homes for sale in the neighbourhood; however, there are some temporary flats/apartments/rooms for rent nearby.
With regard to your lost umbrella, there has been no report of one being found.
In reference to the wall colour in your office, we have notified the Superintendent to repaint it in a more suitable colour.
As you can see, there is very little distinction between them. The only one that is often avoided is ‘in regards to’ – which I would personally replace with ‘regarding’.
A relationship between two people A and B is the set of connections — familial, social, commercial, etc. — between them. The relationship of person A to person B means those connections from the one-way point of view of person A. In filling out a form, this is almost always a question about familial connection:
Q: What is (person B’s) relationship to the applicant (person A)?
A: Person B is person A’s father.
In other words person B’s relationship to person A is that of male parent. Usually, this may be turned around from the point of view of person A:
Person A is person B’s son.
That is person A’s relationship to person B is that of male offspring.
Relationship with usually asks for the broader mutual connections between the two parties:
Q: What is (person B’s) relationship with the applicant (person A)?
A: Person B and person A have been business partners for three years. They jointly own three commercial buildings, and Person A has sponsored person B for club membership.
Whether this distinction obtains for this particular application cannot be discerned without having the application posted.
