allows you to see all the issues contributing to your lack of happiness but helps you to verbalize the issues to your partner. Because my partner and I have been going through a lot this past year, I came up with the idea for us both to write down a list of why we should stay together, why we should break up, what expectations we have for one another, and finding a solution.
