QUIZ: Should I Stay or Leave? | Relationship Clarity

If you take 5 minutes to honestly answer these questions, it will give you clarity of whether to stay or go. Remember, you need to be honest in your answers.

Not knowing whether to stay or leave is exhausting in a way that’s hard to explain to anyone who isn’t living it. This quiz won’t make the decision for you, no quiz can. But it will help you get honest, in about five minutes, about what’s actually keeping you stuck and what that might mean. Answer as truthfully as you can; clarity starts with honesty, even when it’s uncomfortable.

What This Quiz Measures

This quiz looks at the areas that typically drive a “stay or go” decision: whether core problems feel repairable, whether both people are still willing to try, how much trust remains, whether you’re staying out of love or out of fear/habit/obligation, and how you each handle conflict and repair. It’s designed to bring the real question underneath “should I stay or go” into focus, rather than answering it for you.

Signs You Might Be Stuck in the “Should I Stay or Go” Loop

  • You’ve mentally rehearsed leaving more than once, but nothing changes
  • You’re staying because of kids, finances, or fear of starting over, not connection
  • You’ve lost the sense that things could get better if you both tried
  • You feel lonelier in the relationship than you think you would outside it
  • You keep asking friends or family the same question without ever deciding

How to Interpret Your Results

There’s no “pass or fail” here. If your results point toward the relationship still having something worth working with, that’s useful information. It means the fog you’re in might lift with the right support rather than time alone. If your results suggest deep, sustained disconnection, that’s useful too. It doesn’t mean you have to decide anything today, but it does mean this deserves real attention rather than more avoidance.

What To Do Next

Whatever your result, you don’t have to sort this out alone or all at once. A structured process with a our Certified therapist, including options for individual reflection before any joint conversation can help you get real clarity, whether that leads to rebuilding together or moving forward separately, with as little unnecessary harm as possible. Find Your Relationship Therapist to explore what that could look like for you.
