Unconventional Relationship Tests

You may have heard of the IKEA relationship test - if you can navigate a trip to IKEA as a couple, buy furniture and assemble it together without an argument then you have a strong relationship.

My partner and I are both *very* competitive. Today, after dating for nearly a year, we went bowling. We both won a game each and had lots of fun. Relationship check passed! 😂🎉

Have you experienced any unexpected relationship tests?

Best place to leave me is in the cafe with some meatballs, some of the pencils and the paper tape measures.

Do the shopping. Come and find me after

My parents were married until my father died. They just avoided IKEA altogether.

I was always informed that if you can go on holiday together and come back still communicating… then that is a winner

The IKEA one is a good one though😂 (I read instructions) 😉

I do think if you can play a game of monopoly, not argue or upturn the board, then you’ve found the absolute “keeper”

My wife and I didn't argue for the first 6 months of our relationship.

Thereafter we argued regularly for 31 years. We were fine.

❤️ Absolutely! It's not about avoiding conflict. It's how you handle it. 🥰

My mum always said to me don’t worry if you argue, worry if you don’t. If you don’t care you don’t argue.

Agreed. Except...why would you want to play that game? 🤔🤣🤣

I just googled. Supposedly over 5,000 relationships have ended because of it. 🤯 I have no idea how accurate that is but it sounds interesting as fuck.

I've had several 'let the wookie win' moments in relationships.

I still haven't learnt to do it in relationships.

An I am not sorry.

A high percentage of those 10,000 people already knew they wanted out,sometimes you just need a catalyst.

I still want to watch it!!

Should I invite someone round?!!

I can believe it.

It's on Netflix, or it's like a fiver on his website I think. He is my favourite 💜

Driving with my husband as the passenger, he seems to think I've forgotten how to drive all of a sudden and gives constant obvious instruction the whole time! It's very trying lol

Sounds like a bit of PR. They skip the meatballs and go straight to hammering and screwing?

You can amplify this effect by doing it abroad in a country that drives on the right. Without satnav and just a road atlas to find your way. 😇

Introducing her to your male friends. Then afterwards, saying there is a party and we both have been invited. If she says is (insert friends name here) going? Then watch out!

... Because if they like your friends and don't think that each and every one is someone they'd rather not bother with then your relationship has wobbly foundations?

Or is she asking specifically because she doesn't want to go if a particular one is there?

We would have had to play a decider.

We go to IKEA, buy the shit and stash it somewhere in the house without ever assembling it. We’re both hopeless.

We have boxes from 2005- a bunk bed for boys who are now 21 and 18 and there is a play kitchen somewhere for a princess who is nearly 14 😂😂😂😂

The booking is for a set time rather than number of games. But I was in the lead after 4 frames after he had a total disconnect between brain and feet. 😁

We have been seeing eachother since July and in a full relationship since Christmas, we don't argue or fight any issue has been resolved over a cup of coffee, and is always sorted, we never go to bed angry.

We can spend days together and if we do argue about small stuff we end up laughing.

I got round that by declining to play Monopoly. Used to play it as a kid and hate it as a game.

Getting lost in the car together. Ideally, with a one way system thrown in for good measure.
