Questions About Your Partner's Past

Nobody should live in the past, but the past influences the way someone is today. When you're with someone, and you plan to spend the rest of your life with them, knowing some of a person's past is essential. The childhood of a person is something that influences their emotional attachment. If you think your partner's attachment style is a little unusual, finding out more about their childhood could help you understand them better.

This is why you should ask more specific questions that will help your partner open up and give you an insight into what happened in their past. Here are some good questions about his past that you could ask him:

  • Do you feel any excitement when you have to visit your hometown?
  • How did you get along with your parents as a child?
  • How is the relationship between you and your parents at the moment? What about your relationship with your siblings?
  • How do you feel about your exes?
  • Were you able to maintain your romantic relationships in the past?
  • Are you still in contact with your childhood friends?
  • Have you ever been a victim of bullying?

Questions About Your Partner's Future Plans

Knowing more about a person's past is important, but discovering their plans for the future is also necessary. Right now, the two of you are in love, but it takes more than love to maintain a relationship and be happy. If you want to stay together and have a future, then it's essential to know that you're on the same page regarding most things. Do you have the same dreams? And if not, could you maintain your relationship while chasing different dreams? It's essential to ask your partner about the future and figure out if the relationship can work in the long-term. Some questions you could ask include:

  • Would you ever want a long-distance relationship?
  • How do you intend to support yourself and your family in the future?
  • Do you want to get married at some point?
  • Would you ever consider relocating to accommodate your job?
  • Have you ever thought about buying your own house one day?

Questions About Your Partner's Communication Skills

The question "How well do you know your partner?" goes hand in hand with how well you can communicate. Being aware of the other person's communication skills could help you determine why your partner may sometimes not express his feelings/thoughts adequately.

Furthermore, it will allow you to discover when your significant other needs closeness or space. Finding out these things could very well help you fix the potential issues you have in your relationship. Communication is key to a successful relationship, after all. Having said that, you could ask your partner the following questions:

  • Do you consider yourself an introvert or an extrovert?
  • How do you feel about phone communication? Would you rather text or voice/video call?
  • Do you find any difficulties in sharing your feelings with someone?
  • What do you prefer: receiving affection or offering it?
  • What do you do when you want to show your affection? Do you perform acts of kindness, offer gifts, or something else?
  • Are you comfortable with bringing up embarrassing or difficult topics?

Questions About Your Partner's Values

Everyone wants a partner whose values align with theirs, so you may want to know if you and your partner are on the same page. Very often, couples end up arguing due to conflicting values. You need to know about your partner's core values and principles, so neither of you has to change due to the other person's ideals. Here are some examples of what you could ask your loved one:

  • How do you feel about traveling?
