THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT YOUR PARTNER

Portland, Oregon, therapist Jeff Guenther shared a video on TikTok titled “15 small but very significant things you should know about your partner six months into a relationship.” Could you answer all these things six months into a relationship? Here they are:
– How do they want to celebrate their birthday?
– How much alone time, if any, do they need?
– What’s their favorite food?
– What turns them on and gets them in the mood?
– How long do they need to get ready and head out the door?
– What’s their favorite TV show, movie and band?
– What’s their most controversial take?
– Who’s their best friend and why?
– What family member triggers them the most?
– What will instantly make them laugh?
– What’s their biggest insecurity?
– What’s the best way to support them when they’re stressed or upset?
– What do they ultimately want from this relationship?
– What do they allow themselves to splurge on financially?
– What’s their biggest guilty pleasure?
The video had TikTokers adding their own suggestions for important things to know, such as “Which way do they hang their toilet paper,” and “What temperature they like the thermostat in the house.”
* It is NOT going to take you six months to figure out which way they hang the toilet paper.
* How about “Are they always pushing to ‘know you better’ or do they let you have your own space?”
* I’ve been married ___ years. I don’t know half of these. I really ought to start paying more attention.
* I think we could get a little deeper with the questions. Like, “Who gets to clean the hair out of the shower drain” and “Which is their favorite kid?”
