Do you feel like most or all of your free time should be spent together when you are in a relationship?

No, I think there needs to be a healthy balance of together time and alone time

Sometimes, but I usually feel like my partners expect to spend most of their free time with me and sometimes it feels suffocating

Yes, I think in a healthy relationship you should spend as much time together as possible

Do you tend to compare your partners to people you have dated in the past or people that your friend/family members are dating/have dated?

No, never. Everyone is different, and I don’t like to compare

Sometimes, if there is a red flag that I feel like I can’t ignore anymore, then I think it is okay to bring it up and compare to someone else

Yes, I always do because I am afraid of the past repeating itself

Do your relationships usually have a good balance of give and take?

Sometimes, but at times I feel like I give more than my partner does

No, I either take advantage of my partner’s kindness, or they take advantage of mine. It always seems to fall into that pattern

Do you think finding effective ways to communicate is a high priority in relationships?

Sometimes, but I also know I have a difficult time controlling what I say sometimes, and that has gotten me in trouble

Not really. I have a hard time being open about how I feel and usually end up feeling ignored or dismissed

Do you try to find things that your partner really enjoys so you can go out of your way to do them as an expression of love?

I am not really the affectionate or lovey-dovey type

Are you generally able to recognize when you are not being fair to your partner and not afraid to admit when you are wrong or not treating them fairly?

Sometimes I can, but sometimes it is hard for me to see it in the heat of the moment, and I don’t realize until later

Not really, that is something I need to work on

Do you expect your partner to be the only source of your happiness and always work to make sure they are keeping you happy?

No, definitely not. I am responsible for my own happiness

Sometimes, I do without realizing it, but I think I am just a little needier than other people are

I do find myself doing this to my partner and expecting them to do everything they can to make sure I am happy

Are you an empathetic partner and try to put yourself in your partner's shoes and have compassion for them and anything they are going through?

Sometimes, but other times I know I could be more concerned about myself

I am not really that type of person
