Your romantic pattern is Romantic Rescue!
Love is all-powerful in the Romantic Rescue pattern. It is the catalyst for change within yourself as well as the means through which you discover if your partner is who you want and need them to be.
But, here's the recurring pattern you may see in your relationships: A desire to save your partner from his own self-destruction, or the desire to be saved by someone for the same reason.
Some people adopt the hero role in this pattern-nursing an ailing partner back to health, saving them from a string of previously destructive relationships, maybe even saving them from a physical danger. Others cast themselves as those in need of rescue -relying on their partners to swoop in and save them from whatever ill-fate's been visited upon them, either real or imagined.
Amusingly enough, I didn't take this test. But it pretty well describes me, don't you think? I'm both the hero and the damsel in distress. I need to be saved in some ways, but I can save him in others. Isn't that okay? Isn't that the way it's supposed to be? Shouldn't we save each other, help each other? Why not? What's wrong with depending on another person? Especially one who loves you, one whom you love back. Unfortunately...well, not everyone sees it that way.
