Talk about feeling torn. On the one hand, you’re in the mood to shop, and you legitimately need to buy something. On the other, you’re worried about money, and you know that if you spend more than you should on any major purchase, you’ll be too worried about paying it off to actually enjoy it. Here’s your solution: take a practical, sensible friend along and insist that they give you their honest opinion.

You may be thinking about what’s owed you for a past romantic imbalance, but is this really productive? Perhaps it’s time to cut your losses, forget about the old, and wholeheartedly embrace the new.

Changing tracks seems like a good idea to you, and it might be appealing to your partner too. Talking it over isn’t necessary. All that has to happen is one of you needs to take the first step.

You have new goals and you’re starting to see the first inklings that you can actually attain them. Don’t bore others with your new regime, though. The more you talk about it, the less energy you have to achieve them.
