Ready for Love / Dating
Don't be surprised if trolls come out from under their bridges and make your love life miserable. Don't let them discourage you or bring you down to their level. Take some time and maybe try again in a month or so. The trolls might have hidden away by then!
Committed Relationship
The tension is so high in your home that you could cut it with a knife. Small arguments, if too frequent, can break a relationship if not resolved quickly. It's a good idea to have some space before things escalate further. You all might say things you can't take back.
Struggling Relationship
To say there's a power struggle between the people in your relationship is an understatement. Love isn't meant to be a battlefield, but a sanctuary. Get to the root of the problem and resolve your issues as soon as possible so you can restore some balance to your home.
The End
Stop fighting with yourself about whether you should break up or stay together if it's already happened. While it makes sense that you feel confused about which direction to take, unless you're in danger, it's best to wait until you have greater clarity. Or, at least, get neutral advice.
Visual Description
Two people stand facing each other beside a red hatchback with its trunk open, revealing several colorful suitcases. Five wooden wands are visible, some planted upright in the ground and others leaning against the car. Both figures hold luggage and display tense, focused expressions in an outdoor setting.
