cliched horoscope entry

"If you are in a relationship that is a struggle these days, it may be time for a reevaluation of its pros and cons. There are problems and benefits that you bring to one another, and you cannot make a definitive decision about whether or not to continue on your current path. For now, talking it over is wiser than taking direct action."

Thanks, Rick.

All I do is talk, though. Perhaps it's time for some direct action.
