What If Your Relationship Patterns Could Finally Make Sense?

The fights that won’t end. The love that feels distant. It’s not you—it’s a hidden pattern. Discover what it is and how to shift it for good.

If even one of these sounds familiar… you’re about to uncover the pattern beneath it. These aren’t just behaviors—they’re evidence of a pattern you’ve been stuck in for years. 
This quiz helps you name it—and start shifting it. For good.

Your Pattern Has a Place.
And It’s Shiftable.

The Relationship Grid is the cornerstone of Terry Real’s relational work. It helps you identify the exact stance you take when things get hard in your relationship—whether you shut down, lash out, over-give, or take too much control.It also shows you where your partner tends to go. And why, the same fight keeps happening… even if the topic changes.

When under stress, we all fall into a predictable quadrant:

  • Some people go silent or disappear to protect themselves
  • Others step into control or anger to feel safe
  • Some cling harder and try to win back love at any cost
  • Others build walls or withhold warmth to avoid vulnerability

These aren’t character flaws. They’re just patterned reactions—learned in childhood, triggered in adulthood.

This quiz shows you your quadrant—and how to return to health at the center.
