A friend or a romantic partner may be taken aback by a seemingly sudden change
in your relationship. This change, which is coming from you, has come as a
surprise to this person, but it has clearly been headed this way for a while.
Still, your loved one may not know how to deal with it, and that puts you in a
delicate predicament. If you are certain you want things to change, then you
need to be clear about the reasons for it. Only then can you move forward on
an even keel.
