Are You Asking Your Partner The Right Questions?

A woman who spent years testing her boyfriend's love through hypothetical worst-case scenarios explains how a random question about turning into a worm on the New Jersey Thruway cracked open a pattern she didn't know she had, why growing up in a house where needs went unspoken taught her to ask for love sideways instead of directly, and how therapy helped her trace her hypotheticals back to a simple truth: she wasn't testing him, she was seeking assurance. The worm, the burning building, the bullet, she realized, were never really the question. The real one was whether she could just say what she needed out loud.
