Sometimes your partner has a passion, a dream they want to accomplish. However, no matter how hard they work or how much effort they put into their passion it's not going anywhere. It's hard for them to see sometimes but you can't put yourself as an obstacle to their passion, instead, you have to help them realize for themself that what they are doing isn't working.
Love how some "experts" write about the secrets to successful relationships and then give common sense advice everyone already knows.
