In a recent poll published by BuzzFeed, they explored a very hypothetical situation: if your significant other came home one day and suddenly their normal head had been replaced with that of a frog's, could you look past this and still love them? Would the change be too difficult to overcome and therefore you'd have to leave them? I encourage you to explore this idea and vote on the poll as well.

However, I was very intrigued by such a question and asked several of my close friends and those I see often, the same question, very interested in how they may respond. However, one friend brought up the fact that exploring hypothetical situations such as these is very important to do with your partner. I asked what she meant exactly and she simply responded with, "Well, do you have a zombie apocalypse plan with your significant other?"

I realized that I hadn't discussed such a thing with my partner before, though I'd given it some thought myself in the past. When I confronted my partner later, I was surprised to find that their ideal plan did not necessarily match mine. This was due to the fact that they'd primarily had only thought about it in terms of themselves and hadn't included me in the equation - much like I had neglected to so for them as well. When we discussed it, we came up with an adequate plan for ourselves.

Now, it sounds ridiculously silly, but I believe that discussing unlikely situations like this is a really good reflection of the style of relationship you have, as well as your compatibility with one another. If there was an apocalypse, would they leave you behind? If they were a vampire, would they turn you? If they had a frog head, would you love them? It's a very odd thing to think about, but assessing strange hypotheticals is a fun, healthy way to help establish the relationship you and your significant other have or will have in times of (albeit odd) stressful situations.
