17. What are the questions about me you’ve always wanted to ask but never have? This could become very personal. That’s good. You may be surprised. Above all, don’t be defensive or offended. Thank your partner for asking. You may want to answer immediately or reflect on the questions for a while. And another thought—why haven’t these questions been asked before? Is it because your partner tends to be hesitant or reserved, or because they sense it would not be received well? That’s something to think about.
