Every now and then, your verbally rebellious streak takes control and becomes hard to handle. For now, though, since you’re perfectly entitled to let someone have it who’s had it coming for some time, why not indulge yourself? They need to be told, you need to tell them, and it’s time get the ball rolling. Just don’t hit too far below the belt. Clearing the air is one thing, verbal assault is quite another.

Are you sabotaging your dating experiences because you’re afraid of getting in too deep with someone new? Instead of fast-forwarding to bad breakups and heartbreak, give a budding romance a chance to fully blossom. Keep it casual until you’re ready to take it to the next level. You’re in control.

When something breaks, it gives you and your sweetie an opportunity for a new beginning. Use this chance to figure out what wasn’t working, what still needs repairing, and where you want to go from here.

Blame it on an evil double if you must, but what you’re experiencing is just another part of your true self. Whether you’re spending money like water or refusing to let go of a dime, your extreme stance shocks even you.
