You have a project in mind and though you’d love to make it happen, in your mind it’s not the right time: you’re too young, not have enough experience, not enough money, …

No matter what you do, it makes you feel bad.

The routine has settle down and without noticing it you spend less and less time with each other. You find all sorts of excuses for not hanging out with your partner. You’re too busy with work, you already have that drink with your friends, …
