I think that the message for people is to not be afraid to look at the relationship and say, okay, is this relationship working for me? And if there's a piece of me that says it isn't, I have to pay attention, but it doesn't mean I have to leave. It means that some work has to be done for the two of us. And I have to encourage the partner to be willing to work.
