I'd be lying if I say it didn't freak me out completly... just had to post it...
What's Your Romantic Pattern?
My Result: Love vs. Honor
Love vs. Honor is the most dramatic pattern of all — defined by an innate tug of war between what you want to do and what you think you should do.
But, here's the recurring pattern you may see in your relationships: There is something coming between you and love.
Perhaps it's a religious conviction, a previous commitment, family, patriotic duty, or deep belief that good things only come at a terrible price.
You tend to put others' needs before your own. Romance is not your number one priority, though in the back of your mind you are holding out for a soul mate.
If you're looking for examples you can start back with the Greek myths where heroes were often forced to give up love and the comforts of home for battles in far-off lands. In Charles Dickens' "Great Expectations," Estella chooses to obey her benefactress and break Pip's heart, even though she deeply regrets doing so. Political obligations and previous relationships tear Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman apart in the unforgettable film "Casablanca."
