In your effort to do the right thing, you stepped on a lot of toes. Take this week to go back and make nice. Plus a foot rub can’t hurt.
The best choice is the practical one. A supposed “expert” will try to convince you otherwise, but this person’s enamored of trends; not facts.
You’re under pressure to change tactics, but it’s wiser to stay the course. Consistency trumps showy in the “I’ve got to prove yourself” department.
Now that you’re getting serious, it’s the other party who wavers. You’ve been in their shoes. Talk to them like you would talk to yourself.
Not much is holding a friendship together, but you aren’t exactly eager to bring matters to an end. Sometimes the path of least resistance is the best route to take.
Disputing parties try to force you to pick sides. Don’t buckle. They’ve the capacity to settle matters amicably between themselves so wait them out.
