1. How do conversations about needs or emotions usually go between you two?
We talk things through and usually feel closer after
We try, but it can get tense or confusing
One of us shuts down or gets defensive
I don’t even bring it up - it never seems to help
2. When you need emotional support, what do you usually do?
I tell my partner directly
I drop hints or hope they’ll notice
I hold it in until I feel resentful
I give up and deal with it on my own
3. What happens after a disagreement?
We resolve it and reconnect fairly quickly
We kind of gloss over it but never go deep
It lingers - we avoid or brush it under the rug
It becomes another wall between us
4. You try to express something important. Your partner…
Listens and engages
Seems confused or misinterprets it
Gets defensive or distant
Changes the subject or shuts it down
5. What’s your most common communication pattern?
Open and honest - even when it’s hard
A mix - we try but it doesn’t always land
I tend to get quiet or explode
We mostly avoid hard conversations
6. When your partner is upset, you feel…
Confident in how to show up for them
Unsure what to say or do
Defensive or overwhelmed
Disconnected - I’m not even sure it’s safe to ask
7. When something great happens, who do you want to tell first?
My partner - always
Sometimes my partner, sometimes a friend
Usually someone else
I don’t really think to share it with them anymore
8. How do you express when something bothers you?
I bring it up calmly and directly
I hint at it and hope they’ll ask
I bottle it up until it bursts
I usually don’t - it’s easier to stay quiet
9. How “emotionally safe” do you feel in your relationship?
Very - I can be honest without fear
Somewhat - it depends on the topic
Not really - I filter myself often
I’ve stopped trying to be vulnerable
10. When you think about communication in your relationship, you feel…
Hopeful - we’re learning and growing
Cautiously optimistic - but we need help
Exhausted - we keep missing each other
Discouraged - I’m tired of not being heard
