For Special 4 U :

Assertive - You've got the right balance with give and take between you and your partner. You respect one another and while you may sometimes lean away from the middle in one direction or the other, you always find your way back together.

To deaon:
Aggressive - You tend to put your own rights and feelings above your partner, minimizing your partner's self worth. You often criticize your partner and make them feel unimportant, even if you don't mean to do so. Work on talking more and yelling less. Before you fight, stop and ask yourself "is it really worth an argument?" Remember that it's all about meeting in the middle.
