You want some time alone. No, it’s fairer to say that you need some time alone and you’ll do whatever it takes to get it. So, if a loved one asks you for something you really can’t provide, your answer will be matter-of-fact, firm, and quite clear. It’s just not possible now. Don’t you dare feel bad about it. After all, when was the last time you said no to anyone under any circumstances? Exactly. It’s time to think of yourself.

It’s especially easy to get caught up in the moment today, so pick those moments with care. Turning a night out with friends into a block party is fine. Ending that first date by eloping might not work out so well.

You can put a bandage on what’s ailing you, or you can look for ways to truly heal the issue. Talk it over with your darling. As your partner, they’re entitled to know what you need — and what you’re seeking.

Someone wants what’s yours and they’ll stop at nothing to get it. Asking you is only their very first step. Keep your eyes open for telltale signs that you are in the presence of a wolf in sheep’s clothing.
