A conflict so old you can’t remember how it got started may be keeping you separate (emotionally, at least) from a loved one. Since neither of you is willing to admit responsibility, the dispute could start to cause equal parts of amusement and concern in those who know and love you both. How about dropping your pride first and seeing what happens next?

You’ve got a knack for sizing people up, not to mention assessing all sorts of situations in an uncanny way. The trick is that you’ll have to pry the attention off yourself first.

If you notice any patterns in your partner’s behavior that are worrying you, be sure to mention them. Don’t be accusatory. Just describe your concern and leave it at that.

Learning a new trick has more payoffs than one. Money plays into your satisfaction, but so does the simple act of learning itself. Don’t forget to thank the person who helps you see things in a new and more profitable way. A verbal thank you won’t cut it.
