Doesn't make enough of an effort with the kids, is (pre)occupied with anything but you? It could be odd jobs around the house, garden, kitchen chores, or more serious themes. How do you say that you haven't really enjoyed sex that much for a long time? That you don't agree with your partner's spending habits? That you feel lonely? That you've fallen in love with someone else? In this course, you'll discover how to raise these issues with your partner.
