About This Quiz

Before you take this quiz, let's get one thing out there right now, it is totally normal for a couple to argue, and in fact, if you are in a relationship and you never argue at all, then there is probably something wrong with your relationship. It probably means that either you or your boyfriend are keeping things inside and are afraid to be honest about your feelings, which is never a good thing. On the other hand, if you argue all the time, that isn't a good thing either and is probably a sign of a bigger issue in your relationship.Â Then there is even how you argue. Having a long involved conversation where you both respect each other'sÂ viewpoints even though you disagree is a whole lot better than you two screaming at each other like banshees and throwing dishes around.Â

So if you are arguing with your boyfriend, don't despair, it doesn't mean all is lost, but it might mean that you have some things to work on depending how you two are going at each other. There is only one way to find out how long you and your boyfriend will last, and that is to get into a fight with this quiz.Â Just try not to hurt it too much.

Your boyfriend forgets your birthday, what do you say to him?

Again?

I'd simply say, "I expect this won't happen again."

I'd probably try and find out if he had a good reason for forgetting before getting too upset about it.

I probably forgot too.

How often do you two argue?

Every time we see each other, multiple times.

Not every time we see each other, but we still argue quite a bit.

One or twice a week.

Occasionally

He's 30 minutes late picking you up from an 8-hour shift, what do you say when he finally arrives?

Nothing. I would just want to get home without hearing his excuses.

I'd ask him if he got lost or spent time in the emergency room because there's no other good reason.

Where were you?!?

Why are you so late?

He went through your phone, is this something worth arguing over?

It's not worth it, and I'm sure it'll happen again.

Yes, he's going to hear about it.

It's definitely worth having a frank discussion about.

He wouldn't go through my private belongings.

While looking through your phone, he got himself worked up over some innocent texts between you and someone named Casey. How do you explain yourself?

That's a gender-neutral name, making it a pretty easy corner to get out of.

Explain myself? How does he explain himself going through my phone?

I have nothing to hide, so I'd speak the truth and shame him for his hurtful behavior.

I wouldn't have to explain myself because this wouldn't happen.

You just left your boyfriend's after a somewhat intense argument, how long do you wait to get in contact?

I'd probably text him as soon as I got where I was going. I don't like conflict.

He'd better get in contact with me or we just won't talk.

At least a few hours.

It depends on how we left things.

You're driving and he's giving unwanted instructions/critiques, does this spark an argument?

No, he's just trying to help even if in an annoying fashion.

I'd ask him to quit it, but if he kept back seat driving, then yeah, we'd fight about it.

It would put me on edge, which would likely result in a stupid argument.

Not unless it caused me to hit my breaking point during an already stressful week.

For Valentine's Day, your boyfriend takes you to a restaurant that requires reservations to be made in advance, but he never made one. At this point, you're feeling "hangry." How do you respond?

I'd probably get upset with him and go home.

Let's go to the nearest fast food joint because I'm starving.

I'd expect him to come up with a quick solution or else I might get angry.

I'd express my disappointment and then try to discuss other dinner options.

On your anniversary, your boyfriend blatantly eyeballs an attractive restaurant employee, and you call him out on it. What does he say?

"No, I didn't."

"I didn't realize you were watching me."

"I'm sorry. It won't happen again."

He wouldn't ever do something like this.

Your boyfriend has been spending most of his time at work, with buddies, and/or going out for the past two weeks, doing pretty much everything but hanging out with you. What do you do?

I mope around until he realizes I still exist.

I demand his attention.

I try to set up some times for us to hang out and talk.

I ask him if there's anything going on I should know about.

Your boyfriend spent a ridiculous amount of money on a new video game instead of buying an item you both needed. How do you respond?

That's typical; I shouldn't have trusted him to do it.

Yell at him about it, and then probably play the game with him.

I'd express my disappointment and try to make sure he realizes it was a bad decision.

He wouldn't do this. But if he did, he'd have to try to make up the money somehow. and promise to be more responsible in the future.

You're having a hard time getting motivated to eat better, and your boyfriend is only making it worse by encouraging you to continue eating junk food. Do you give up on healthy eating?

Probably, it's way too hard to do even with supportive people helping.

Not at first, but if he didn't start giving more of an effort, then most likely eventually.

Not entirely, though I'd probably give in to less healthy choices more often.

No, and I'd make it clear that we'd keep having conversations about it until he took steps to actually be supportive.

What do you do when your boyfriend is being cranky or irritable?

I tiptoe around his feelings and try to make him feel better.

I end up getting cranky too. And then we fight.

I tell him to quit being so cranky, which makes him defensive, and then we fight.

I wait til he's a bit calmer and try to ask him what's going on. Then let him know his behavior isn't exactly the most loving.
