Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Open the conversation. Talk about what each of you wants. Ask questions. Listen intently. Avoid blaming. Agree on common goals. Attend therapy.

Answer: It can be difficult to start an emotional conversation. When starting a conversation, share what you want for your significant other. Share what's important to you and how it relates to your significant other. You can start by saying, "I enjoy our relationship and I hope you do, too. I hope you feel as happy being with me as I feel with you. One thing that causes me to feel unhappy is our differences on commitment. Can we talk about that?" For more information, check out How to Handle Difficult Conversations. Be honest and encourage your partner to be honest as well, as it's in both your best interests to communicate your thoughts and feelings. Communicate what you want from your significant other and from the relationship. Say, "I want to be in a relationship with you. I want this relationship to be exclusive." Ask your significant other about what matters to you. Listen closely to hear if there are any unmet expectations from your significant other. Does your significant other fear rejection or disappointment? If anything is unclear, ask a question. Some questions you can ask include, "What are you getting from this relationship? What makes you want to stay in this relationship? Are there things that make you unhappy? What fears do you have about being in a relationship?" Listen closely to what your significant other says. Don't think up things to say while your significant other talks. Instead, do your best to appreciate your significant other's perspective and understand it more fully. If you don't fully understand your significant other's perspective, ask about it. Say, "What experiences have made you feel fearful?" For more information, check out How to Listen. Choose your words carefully, as your significant other may feel like he or she is being blamed. Avoid saying things like, "you never." or, "you always." Don't put all the responsibility onto your significant other. Take responsibility for your own thoughts and feelings, and recognize that blaming won't help you move forward in this relationship. Take ownership of your feelings. Use "I" statements instead of "you" statements, which can help remove blame. For example, instead of saying, "Why won't you commit to me?" say, "I feel hurt by the fact that I want a committed relationship and it seems less important to you." Be willing to end the conversation with each of you willing to compromise. This may be more difficult if one person wants to break up and the other person does not, however, you may make your goals to treat each other with respect, or to prioritize any children involved. One goal you can have is to stay monogamous or to give the relationship one full month of commitment. Your significant other may have abandonment issues or other challenges that interfere with the inability to commit to you and the relationship. He or she may be dealing with some problems from past relationships (like cheating) or from childhood that impede the ability to commit now. Individual or couple's therapy may be beneficial for working through these problems with a therapist.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Rinse off the band after usage. Remove oil with a soap-free cleanser. Rinse thoroughly with water. Scrub out stains with a toothbrush or cotton ball. Dry the band with a cloth.

Answer: Simply place the elastomer band under running water. Regular cleaning this way will remove debris that can get stuck between the band and your skin. You may also dip a cotton ball in rubbing alcohol and wipe the band for the same effect without getting water near the tracker. This needs to be done regularly, particularly after sweating. Don't use soap, hand sanitizers, wipes, or other cleaning products. These will irritate your skin while you wear the band. After using oily products such as sunscreen, moisturizers, and insect repellent, apply a soapless cleaner such as Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser or Aquanil. Place some on your finger or on a cloth and spread it over the band. A waterproof Fitbit can be placed under running water. If yours isn't, or you are worried about damaging the tracker, dampen a towel and wipe off the band repeatedly. Make sure any cleanser you used is fully removed. Anything left on can irritate your skin next time you wear the band. For stains, scrubbing can help loosen up debris. Use a soft-bristled toothbrush so you don't weaken the band. For dye stains such as those from contact with dark clothing, dip a cotton ball in rubbing alcohol or nail polish remover and wipe it over the stain. Make sure you clean and dry the band before attempting to scrub it with a toothbrush. The cotton ball with rubbing alcohol can also be used to clean the band before stain removal. Apply a clean, soft towel to the band to soak up the moisture. Afterwards, leave the band out in a cool, shaded area out of direct sunlight.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Have the correct mixing bowls. Get creative when choosing soap molds. Gather all your tools.

Answer: Do not use equipment that will be used for cooking. Use bowls and equipment made from stainless steel, tempered glass, and enamel. Avoid using copper and aluminum as they have a negative reaction with lye. Moreover, some plastics melt when mixed with lye. Use soap-only spoons made of styrene plastic or silicone. You can pick up a variety of soap molds at your local craft store or use silicone baking pans. Silicone is prefered because you can peel off the soap molds easily. Aside from the actual ingredients you want in your soap, make sure you have a pint and a quart canning jar, a stainless steel thermometer that can read between 90 - 200 degrees Fahrenheit, newspaper, and an old towel.
