The testing that women do in a relationship (sh*t testing)

Women are programmed to test you if you are in a relationship with them. They probably don't even do it based on careful thought. They just do it. They will consider problems with the relationship or with you, and see what happens. As long as the problems are manageable, and you want the relationship, you should work through these problems. The woman may still love you even if she is performing these tests that seem critical. This behavior probably evolved because women need some way to ensure that a man will stay with her through the good and the bad, that he will take a lead in staying with her. (Similar to using ultrasound to perturb a plate while you are electroplating it in liquid. Only the pieces that stick really hard will stick at all.)
