“Testing your partner”

testing your partner to see how they would react to certain things

you do that, right?

tell me about some of the times youve done that.

Hi yes ..I'm a Capricorn woman and I test my partners. BUT I only do it if I - for example - think they are Controlling and I want to see if I'm right.

So let's say I'm doing some housework with my partner. And my partner tells me to do something His way but I say 5hank you but no. If he starts getting arsey and insists I do it his way then I start to feel a bit controlled rather than free to be myself.

If this behaviour continues to the point that he is starting arguments over it then I definitely feel controlled.

So I start to test him by deliberately doing what he says - even though I don't want to or have to - just to test his reaction.

If he starts being really nice to me then I now for sure he is controlling.

I test to make sure I'm right about what I think is going on when I'm not happy with how I'm being treated.
