Sometimes relationships seem so ordinary. A smile in the morning, a text message in the afternoon, plans for the evening. Everything is familiar and seemingly calm. But sometimes a small detail appears that catches your attention. An inappropriate joke. A hurtful look. Silence when you wanted to hear a few words. And you start to wonder: is it a coincidence or a sign?
When little things become alarming
Sometimes your partner cancels a meeting at the last minute. And you say to yourself, “Well, everyone has things to do.” Of course then it happens again. Or he forgets to ask how your day went. It seems like a trifle, but it leaves a bad taste in your mouth. From time to time these little things pass by, and sometimes they add up to a bigger picture. And it becomes difficult to understand — am I nitpicking or do I really see a warning sign? Everyone chooses their own strategy. Some people notice it right away and put an end to it. Other people make excuses. Some people try to discuss it. And some people just pretend that nothing happened.
Everyone has their own radar
There are people who react instantly: “This isn’t for me, it’s time to stop.” There are those who believe in the best and look for explanations. Others sit down for a frank conversation and try to figure things out. And some close their eyes just to avoid arguing. And all these reactions are understandable in their own way. After all, everyone has their own internal radar. For some, it is too sensitive. For others, on the contrary, it hardly works at all. And all this is experience. Being aware of your own way of reacting is useful, if only to understand where your boundaries lie and where your fears are unfounded.
That’s why I created this quiz. There are no right or wrong answers here. There is only honesty with yourself. Maybe the result will surprise you. Or maybe it will confirm what you have felt for a long time.
