Do you think you're successful handling relationships in your adult life?
I don't really mean family, friends, or co-workers. I mean like between significant others. What do you attribute to your success?

Okay so far and still managing to keep a spouse around but I understand implicitly that I'm fortunate to have found someone capable of tolerating me. I attribute that to having been raised by annoyingly pragmatic people who stressed throughout my childhood that I'm not special, no one is going to "rescue" me and real things like actions are more important than empty gestures like gifts and flowers. So far it's working.

Yes, pretty well. I attribute it to communication. She and I both know that if ANYTHING is bothering us, we can tell the other person and discuss it.

I would say I’m in the middle. When I make a mistake ( nobody is perfect ) I learn from my mistakes and I change my ways that didn’t work. I feel like everyone has something to learn in different relationships because not everyone handles things the same way. I think a relationships success depends on if you can handle how your partner reacts to certain things/depends on how you choose to handle things. My certain relationship has taught me stuff about me I didn’t necessarily know about myself but I try to see things in perspective of my boyfriends.
