Okay, so I decided to do this “quiz is your relationship over” thing. I saw it online and thought, why not? It’s just for fun, right?
First, I googled it and found a bunch of these quizzes. They all pretty much asked the same stuff – you know, about trust, communication, intimacy, shared values, and how you handle fights. Standard relationship stuff.
I picked one that seemed legit, not too cheesy. It had questions like “Do you still feel excited and happy when you see your partner?” and “Do you keep in contact often?”. It also got into the nitty-gritty, like asking about physical intimacy and emotional connection. And how I was feeling about my relationship overall was it happy or was it time to end.
I started answering honestly. Some questions were easy, some made me think a bit. Like, “When someone is falling out of love, they may become emotionally distant, avoid physical intimacy, stop expressing affection, or appear detached and unresponsive to emotional needs,” says Brandon Santan, PhD, a licensed therapist specializing in relationships based in Chattanooga, Tennessee. I thought about my own relationship, how we’ve been lately. It was kinda eye-opening, not gonna lie.
The quiz mentioned something about love never being easy but always worth fighting for. There is always something that can go wrong in a relationship. I guess that’s true. Relationships take work, especially when you’re figuring out boundaries and trust in the beginning, and then keeping that connection strong.
After answering all the questions, I waited for the results. It felt a bit like waiting for test scores. I wondered, would it say my relationship is doomed or that we’re gonna live happily ever after?
Finally, the results popped up. It basically said that while things might be rough, there’s still hope if both people are willing to put in the effort. It wasn’t a definite “yes” or “no,” which I guess is realistic. But it said that it is worth fighting for as long as you both are interested in each other. There should be obvious signs: You want to see each other frequently. You keep in contact often. You make intimate experiences with each other. You continue to get closer, physically and emotionally. You want to grow together.
So, yeah, that was my experience with the “is your relationship over” quiz. It was an interesting way to spend an afternoon, and it did make me think about my relationship in a new light. Not sure if it changed anything, but it was definitely food for thought. You should try it sometime, just for kicks. Might learn something about yourself or your relationship, who knows?
