If one of your relationships is suffering because one person isn’t making enough time for the other, it’s time to talk about new things the two of you can do together. You both need to expand your horizons and get out of the rut you’ve been in. Ask them what they’d like to explore. Then share your list. There will be at least one thing common to the two of you, and this should be the next thing you do together.

When that friend complains about their relationship woes, they don’t want advice. Just listen and maybe ask a few helpful questions. They need to figure this out themselves, just like you.

So your partner isn’t the best dresser in the world? Instead of criticizing, offer compliments about what they’re doing right and (gently!) some tips for improvement.

You’re just not feeling comfortable. You’re not sure if your conscious world is filtering down into your subconscious or if it’s the other way around. But either way, some heavy business is making earning money that much harder. Take a long lunch.
