Are You a Relationship Empath?

Are you a relationship empath? In a relationship do you absorb your partner’s stress? Do you feel like the closer you are to someone the more intense empathy gets? Or perhaps you unknowingly avoid romantic partnerships because deep down you’re afraid of getting suffocated. A part of you wants a soul mate; another part is frightened. To determine whether you’re a relationship empath take the following quiz.
