N.B. In order to avold constantly having to make distinctions between masculine and feminine gender, the person who is sharing your love affair is referred to as "the lover," irrespective of the degree of intimacy.

GROUP D

Do you convey the idea that the lover makes an enor- mous contribution to your well-being?

1

2

Are you generous with appreciation?

3

Are you careful not to talk without also being willing to listen? (This question calls for a very frank facing-up, as we nearly all take it for granted that we are good listeners, and fail to notice how often we are self-centred talkers.)

Do you make a point of knowing as much as possible about that part of the lover's life which you cannot see at first hand?

5

Are you able to erase an embarrassing incident from your mind or at any rate from your conversation? Do you realise that prolonged emotion is tiring. and that periods of comparative indifference may be beneficial?

GROUP E

Do you try to seclude yourself completely with the person you love?

2

Do you exact embraces and endearments on ocensions when the enthusiasm is clearly not mutual?

HOW IT BEGAN Berdanier

Do you find yourself appealing for explanations if you suspect your lover of behaving less warmly than usual towards you?

4

Are you sensitive to the pitch of being defensive? (People don't always realise when they are defensive; but for example, do you dread loss of dignity, do you "fish" for little compliments that will reassure you, and are you very much on your guard for fear of being slighted?)

5 Do you easily grow jealous?

6

On the other hand, are you exceptionally free from jealousy?
