Thanks to a truly mixed bag of signals, you’re not even close to being sure about what’s going on between you and a loved one. It has been difficult, however, and you’re not happy about it. You two could be entering one of those phases that either makes or breaks a relationship. That means it’s time to make a decision, and that means it’s time to have a long talk.

Sometimes it’s just easier to give in to an overly emotional state and let it have its way with you. Consider watching a sappy movie for cathartic purposes, or, alternatively, going to a kickboxing class.

Today could bring a situation that leaves you feeling frustrated with your partner. Before you say anything, take a deep breath and regain your composure. Expressing yourself calmly will lead to much better results.

Giving things the once-over isn’t enough. You need to really dig in to get a feel for the risk involved. Going beneath the surface is just the beginning of where your research will lead you.
