End Relationship Quiz

Here is an end relationship quiz to help you decide! Do you often wonder if you should end the relationship you are currently in? Below are some areas that seem to predict relationship failure.

 Money Issues

Expect you to pay even though you make the same amount of money? Have bad credit?

Does your partner always get their own way?

Do you feel like you may sacrifices for your partner but they don’t make sacrifices for you?

 Criticism

• Do you feel like your partner is overly critical of you?

Does your partner attack you or constantly try to prove you wrong by saying negative things about you personally and your character?

When you have an argument do you find your partner turns the situation to more than it is attacking you with generalizations like “ you always do this”…………” You never do that……..”

Contempt

• Do you find that your partner attacks insults or calls you names?

Do you or your partner use body language that conveys anger or contempt on a regular basis ( sneering, looks of disgust etc)?

 Defensiveness

• Do you feel that you respond with defensiveness to your partner because you feel the need to protect yourself?

Do you respond back to your partner with similar strategies of attacking behavior, contempt, and hurling insults because you feel you need to?

Do you feel like you have to make excuses to protect yourself?
