Committed Relationship
Oh look, your partner just left all their clothes on the floor again, even when you asked them to put them in the laundry basket just three hours ago. It's Groundhog Day in relationships when it comes to the problems you have in your relationship. Know what's worth fighting for and what to let go.
Struggling Relationship
You're completely confused about your love life and aren't sure what you should do. The best course of action when you're confused and uncertain is to do nothing. Avoid life-altering decisions until you're in the right space to make them.
The End
You know the relationship is over, but you're also in a situation where you can't simply get up and leave and break ties forever. Try to keep your mental environment as positive as possible while you put your physical plans into motion. However, if you're in danger, you must leave immediately, no matter how difficult it may be.
Visual Description
A young blonde woman stands behind a wooden frame whose opening is filled by eight vertical sword-blades that function like bars. Her face is unbound and forward-looking, with one hand pressed against the inside of the frame as if feeling the barrier. She wears a dark garment and a necklace with a heart-shaped key, while a small heart-shaped lock is fixed to the frame's edge. Pale snowflake motifs dot the green tiled wall around the frame and the interior behind her is dark.
