Much as you’d like to cut someone some slack — for what’s going to feel like the umpteenth time — you’re just about done passing out sympathy and understanding in their direction. Just be sure the frustration you’re feeling toward them doesn’t infiltrate any of your other encounters. You’re set up for a lovely day, and an even better evening. Don’t let them ruin it. Maybe you should just try to avoid them for a day — or two.

As a decision looms, weigh your options. The first step is to take your time. Although this isn’t an urgent matter, it’s a profound one. Figure out what you’re willing to sacrifice and accept it.

Try to be as open as possible with your partner today, but also try to keep from criticizing them too much. Everyone is a little extra sensitive to that right now.

You need more money but a raise isn’t the appropriate source. It’s time to branch out. You’ve been putting all of your eggs in one basket for long enough anyway.
