You should feel empowered to ask for the space you need. There’s a growing craving inside you for solo time whether you realize it or not. Until you get a chance to recharge, social obligations will be just that, obligations, and not a chance to relax. Cancel or postpone some of them. There are too many influences on your thinking right now, and no one would blame you for needing some quiet time to just sit and listen to your own thoughts for a change.

If you wanted it to be easy, you could have settled for less long ago. So it’s confusing now. It’s better that than boring, subpar clarity. Keep attempting to bring things out.

Making any kind of significant progress with your partner might not be possible at the moment, but finding clarity within yourself is. Concentrate on figuring out where you are and where you want to be.

Why take risks when you already have a sure thing? You don’t need to leave your finances to fate in order to get that rush of excitement. Once you find your substitutes, you’ll have no problem plodding along toward financial freedom, as slow and steady as the tortoise.
