Engulfed/Abandoned Quiz

11 Questions | By MarkOtherapist | Updated: Feb 13, 2014 | Attempts: 259

This quiz will determine whether you are the "Engulfed" or the "Abandoned" in your relationship. This is not scientifically based, and is not intended to brand you in a category. The intention is to approximate your emotional essence in the relationship; I always observe two distinct ones in each romantic pair. Once you know who's who, you and your partner can better recognize each other's emotions, improve your communication, negotiation, and conflict resolution. (Rather than simply dismissing one another as being "crazy")
