IF YOUR TOTAL SCORE IS 8- 11 POINTS:
All relationships need work and yours is no exception. You may have just started dating, or it may just take a while for someone to earn your trust. Either way, you might want to have a discussion with your partner about things that both of you can do to make your relationship stronger. A big part of learning to trust is being trustworthy yourself.

Your relationship has had its ups, but mostly it’s been filled with downs. There are always other fish in the sea, but if you are willing

your partner has to say in return. Remember, relationships are a two-way street.
