• The partner and the spouse: Without this character there would probably no fun and no meaning of life. Till a certain stage the whole world seems to be yours, but a stage comes when you need a companion, a soul mate who actually reaches your soul.

Both of you can make a joint analysis or even you evaluate the situation about another important bond in your life. Make sure that you are open in communication and approach too.
• Taking Professional Help: You can seek an expert's opinion for the same. This would mean an "open mind" and "true confession" of how you conduct yourself.
