A healthy relationship brings out each person’s best, but does your girlfriend’s behavior ever undermine your independence or self-esteem? You may not be sure if her actions are protective or possessive.
This quiz will help you determine if her ways express caring or controlling tendencies. I’ll ask about reactions to your schedule, friends, clothing choices and more. Your answers will provide perspective on respecting boundaries versus restricting freedom.
While no quiz can provide definitive answers, reflecting mindfully highlights needed insights. You may feel reassured of mutual trust. Or you may gain courage to discuss control issues.
My goal is to promote self-understanding and open communication – judgment-free. By tuning into your feelings, you can nurture healthy relationships that honor both individuals.
