► You've got to reach out to someone you care for -- they need you more than they are willing to admit. This could launch something new and big, or it could just cement your relationship. If there's a problem happening in your personal life, you're in a good position to take care of it. This almost always starts with asking the other person how they're feeling. Next tell them that you care. Then try to be totally honest with yourself about how you feel and what you're contributing to the problem. Take a little time out. Keep repeating this process until you both feel better. Then hug each other and make up!
