Nice Try, but you didn´t quite make it there yet. Want to have another go?

#1. Your partner has gained weight recently. The most supportive response is:

Suggest healthy food and activities you can enjoy together.

Point out the weight gain and express your disapproval.

Buy them smaller clothes as motivation to lose weight.

Make subtle comments about other people’s appearances.

#2. You discover your partner has been secretly eating the expensive snacks you bought for yourself. The mature response is:

Set up a hidden camera to catch them in the act with evidence

Craft decoy snacks filled with something mildly unpleasant as a lesson.

Discuss sharing treats, even designating some as “hands-off”

Hide your snacks in increasingly creative locations until they give up

#3. Your close friend or partner consistently interprets your well-intentioned advice as criticism. You’ve noticed this pattern developing over several months. The most constructive approach would be to:

Stop offering advice entirely and only provide validation when they share problems.

Continue giving the same advice but preface it with “I’m not criticizing you, but…”

Ask them how they prefer to receive support before offering solutions.

Explain that they’re being too sensitive and need to accept honest feedback.

#4. Your partner leaves dirty dishes in the sink even when the dishwasher is empty. The mature response is:

Load the dishwasher while narrating each step for their benefit

Talk about household responsibilities and find a system that works

Start using only diposable plates and cups until your partner asks why.

Pick up their dirty dishes back on the table as a reminder.

#5. During a group dinner, your friend makes a joke that accidentally offends your partner. You should:

Immediately stage an elaborate intervention about sensitivity.

Create a diversion by discussing something completely different, and forget it.

Address it privately with both parties later.

Ask to get back on this when you can give full attention.

Put them on speakerphone while you continue working.

Start discussing your childhood to change the subject.

#8. Your partner receives a career opportunity that would require lifestyle adjustments for both of you. You:

Present them with a calculated pros/cons analysis.

Explore how each of your core needs could be met within new circumstances.

Suggest they decline unless terms won’t affect you.

Research how to advance your own career in response.

#9. Your friend hasn’t responded to your text for 3 days. They usually reply within hours. What’s the most constructive response?

Send them daily reminders about your unanswered message.

Reach out to mutual friends to investigate their social media activity.

Hope everything’s okay, let me know if you need anything.

Do nothing, and pretend nothing happened when they eventually respond.

#10. Your childhood friend seems jealous of your new friendship. The best approach is:

Reduce interaction with the new friend. You can´t make new childhood friends.

Help them understand your capacity for multiple connections.

Start a weekly friendship performance review.

Distribute your attention and time equally between the two.

#11. A friend confides something personal but asks you not to tell anyone. You should:

Tell them immediately and offer to replace it.

Blame someone else who was also present.
