1. When one of you seems stressed but has not explained why, what usually happens?
The change is often missed or treated as something to handle alone.
Concern is shown indirectly, such as doing a task or offering a distraction.
One of us checks in, but may quickly suggest solutions.
We check in and ask whether listening, practical help, or space would be most useful.
2. One of you offers repeated advice after the other has said she wants to decide for herself. What usually follows?
The advice continues because concern feels more important than the request.
The advice stops for the moment but returns whenever the topic comes up.
The request is mostly respected, although worry may still appear as hints or questions.
The request is respected, and advice is offered later only if invited or clearly necessary.
3. You make a life choice that differs from what she would choose. Which response best fits your relationship?
The difference tends to be treated as rejection or disloyalty.
The choice is tolerated, but disappointment or pressure remains noticeable.
She may express concern, then makes a genuine effort to accept that the decision is mine.
We can discuss the difference while recognizing that each person directs her own life.
4. A planned visit or call is canceled unexpectedly. What is most likely to happen next?
We usually leave the disappointment unspoken and move on separately.
One of us gives a brief response, and the tension tends to fade with time.
We explain what happened, though feelings may remain partly unresolved.
We discuss both the practical reason and any hurt feelings, then agree on what comes next.

We show appreciation fairly often, though one of us initiates it more.

6. A family tradition no longer suits one of you. How would the two of you most likely handle it?
Keeping the tradition would be expected, regardless of her preference.
She could opt out, but doing so would likely be taken personally.
We would discuss alternatives, although changing the expectation might take time.
We would look for an arrangement that respects both the relationship and her right to choose.
7. How well do you each recognize the kind of support the other person prefers?

She will probably be pleased, though her attention may shift to practical details or concerns.
9. After one of you says something hurtful, what best describes the usual repair process?
The incident is rarely discussed again, even if the hurt continues.
Normal contact resumes, but the specific hurt is usually left unnamed.
We acknowledge what happened, although apology or resolution may take time.
We name the impact, take appropriate responsibility, and discuss how to handle it differently.
10. When one of you cannot answer a call, visit, or help immediately, how is that limit received?

The tone is assumed to be negative, but neither of us checks what was meant.

One of us asks what was meant, although the question may sound defensive.
We check the meaning before drawing conclusions and clarify any misunderstanding.
13. How comfortable are you raising a difficult subject in this relationship?
I generally keep difficult subjects to myself because beginning feels too hard.
