You'll be there rating yourself A+. Try giving your answer script to your partner.

I can guarantee you you won't completely like the result if they answer honestly. https://twitter.com/seyiakiwowo/status/1048296905745227776

Not because you're a bad partner. But because nobody is perfect.

What differentiates an excellent partner from a mediocre one is that one accepts feedback and implements it, while the other thinks they're perfect.

Some evaluation/check the temperature of your relationship/regular check up before engine knocks questions you should be asking if you're interested in being a better partner.

How am I doing?
What would you like me to do better/stop doing?
Ask for specific examples

Your initial automatic response would be to defend yourself.
"But I'm trying!! You don't see all the good things I do! You only focus on my faults. You too you're not perfect!"
If you can just pause that initial reaction and listen. It's hard o. And counterintuitive.
Just try it

Or don't. Whatever. I'm not licensed yet. And you're not a paying client.
