The Valentines Day Rubbish Has Started

[Should be in Relationships, but the sub-categories aren't coming up at the moment for me]

According to an American Professor, these 15 questions will determine whether or not your relationship is doomed to fail. Wow, real science LOL.

Reminds me of Basil Fawlty's "On Mastermind we have Sybil Fawlty whose speciality subject is stating the bleeding obvious". That's from memory, may not be totally accurate.

The 15 golden questions:

1. Does your partner make you a better person, and do you do the same for them?

2. Are you and your partner both comfortable with sharing feelings, relying on each other, being close, and able to avoid worrying about the other person leaving?

3. Do you and your partner accept each other for who you are, without trying to change each other?

4. When disagreements arise, do you and your partner communicate respectfully and without contempt or negativity?

5. Do you and your partner share decision-making, power and influence in the relationship?

6. Is your partner your best friend, and are you theirs?

7. Do you and your partner think more in terms of “we” and “us,” rather than “you” and “I”?

8. Would you and your partner trust each other with the passwords to social media and bank accounts?

9. Do you and your partner have good opinions of each other – without having an overinflated positive view?

10. Do your close friends, as well as your partner’s, think you have a great relationship that will stand the test of time?

11. Is your relationship free of red flags like cheating, jealousy and controlling behaviour?

12. Do you and your partner share the same values when it comes to politics, religion, the importance of marriage, the desire to have kids (or not) and how to parent?

13. Are you and your partner willing to sacrifice your own needs, desires and goals for each other (without being a doormat)?

14. Do you and your partner both have agreeable and emotionally stable personalities?

15. Are you and your partner sexually compatible?

Thank you Mamya, I missed that.

Anne - I have copied this answer over to your question.

Perhaps a moderator will remove this one as it's on the wrong thread.

[ummmm]

We differ on religion and maybe parenting. I'm stricter than him but they're grown now and don't really need parenting.

He knows my passwords for everything but so do my kids.
