16.
How do you feel when receiving criticism from your partner?
I can take any criticism, constructive or not.
I can accept constructive criticism, but I get upset when my partner hits below the belt.
I have a hard time accepting any criticism, but I can restrain myself when it is constructive.
I'm hurt by any criticism, constructive or not.
It is not my partner's place to criticize me - if she/he did, I'd definitely bite back with my own criticism.
I can usually accept criticism when it is constructive.
17.
Your partner tells you that s/he would like to go on separate vacations this year. What would be your reaction?
I would take this opportunity to do things I would normally not have a chance to do.
I'd respect his/her wish. I would prefer to be with him/her, but I would not be upset about it.
I would be slightly upset but if s/he had valid reasons, I would go for it.
I would be quite upset but if s/he had valid reasons, I would go for it.
I would be quite upset and regardless of his/her reasons, I would reject the idea.
I would freak out and brace myself for the upcoming breakup.
I would freak out and issue an ultimatum - a vacation alone or me!
18.
Your anniversary is coming up. You and your partner agree to take a short trip together. Unfortunately, that is the only thing you agree on. You want to go camping, mountain biking and have romantic picnics in secluded clearings, while s/he wants to "veg out" on a beach, stay in a resort hotel, and watch sunsets. How do you deal with this difference in opinion?
We come to a compromise.
It's my way or the highway.
I do what my partner wishes.
I reluctantly give in - this time.
It's time to break up - if we are so different, our relationship is doomed anyway.
19.
Are you able to admit when your partner is right about something you originally disagreed on?
My partner is always right.
Sure, when it's true.
Well... when it's really obvious and I have no other choice.
I'd admit it, but rather grudgingly.
My partner is never, ever right!
20.
How do you feel about addressing explosive issues with your partner?
I fear them like the plague.
I view them as an inevitable evil.
I don't enjoy this kind of discussion but it's a necessary part of a relationship.
I enjoy them.
I live to fight!
