Article: You're obviously feeling like something is wrong with the relationship. However, you need to be able to put your finger on why, not just put it in general terms. That needs you need to spend some time thinking about what you think has gone wrong with the relationship. Some areas you can think about are whether you still have fun together and laugh and whether you still have similar goals. Sex is also an area that can cause problems. Another area you can look at is the way you communicate. Has communication broken down in your marriage? Can you identify where it started breaking it down? Also, consider the ways you care for each other. Happy couples enjoy doing things for each other. If you find you are doing all the work in the relationship, both the emotional work and the physical work of living together, that could a large part of the problem--your spouse isn't holding up her or his end of the marriage. That is, you have figured out why you're unhappy. To be fair to your spouse, you need to be able to lay out in exact terms what's not working for you. The best way to do that, once you figure out what's wrong, is to give concrete goals and ask for the same in return. For instance, maybe you're unhappy because you don't feel like your spouse pays attention to you anymore. A concrete goal would be to spend alone time together at least twice a week. Come up with 3 to 4 concrete goals that you can discuss with your spouse. That is, are you almost certain you will get a divorce after the separation? That's something you need to be up front about. However, if you really want a separation to help you decide if you still want to be in the relationship, it's okay to bring that to the table, too. In many cases, couples who have a trial separation set a certain time frame. When that time frame is up, the couple either decides to get back together or to divorce. One therapist recommends 3 months as a good time frame, but you should have a time frame in mind when you talk to your spouse, along with a good justification for that amount of time. For instance, you might feel like half a year is better to figure out your feelings. Alternatively, you may want to separate for 3 months to give your spouse a chance to go through rehab. If they don't, you may choose to divorce at the end of that period. Of course, you can reevaluate after the time period. If you're both still unsure, you can agree to another length of time.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Sort out your feelings. Be able to lay it out in concrete terms. Decide what you want from the separation. Have a time frame in mind.
Article: Your vet may recommend a drug called cyclosporine, which is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug. Unlike steroids, long term cyclosporine therapy is generally well tolerated by dogs. However, cyclosporine is expensive, especially for large breed dogs. Fortunately, as a dog starts to respond to cyclosporine therapy, the required dosage would decrease. Therefore, the cost of cyclosporine therapy would decrease over time. Talk with your vet if you are concerned about the overall cost of cyclosporine. Atopica®️ is the brand name for cyclosporine that is used in dogs. Cyclosporine is an oral drug. Initially, it is usually given daily for 46 weeks. Then, the dosage is gradually decreased to the lowest effective dose. Give the cyclosporine on an empty stomach. Cyclosporine can cause several side effects, including vomiting and diarrhea. Side effects usually occur within the first two weeks of therapy. Contact your vet if you observe these side effects. Your vet may recommend stopping the cyclosporine for a few days, then restarting it by giving it with a small amount of food. If there's no diarrhea and vomiting after a few days, go back to giving cyclosporine on an empty stomach. Infections and thickening of the gums are rare side effects of cyclosporine. Unlike the rapid treatment response with steroids, it may take 68 weeks before your Golden Retriever responds to cyclosporine therapy. Even if you become impatient with waiting for a treatment response, do not change the cyclosporine dosage on your ownthis could lead to treatment failure, which could make your Golden Retriever feel even itchier. Because cyclosporine decreases the immune response, your Golden Retriever's immune system function may go down. Your vet will want to check your Golden Retriever's white blood cell count regularly to assess the health of its immune system. If the white blood cell counts are low, your vet may need to adjust the cyclosporine dosage. These follow-up visits will also allow your vet to determine how well your Golden Retriever is responding to therapy.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Discuss cyclosporine treatment with your vet. Administer cyclosporine as prescribed. Monitor your Golden Retriever for side effects. Wait for a response to therapy. Schedule follow-up visits with your vet.
Article: If you want a classic hydrangea color, go for light blue, lavender, pale green, or pink. You could also select some green tissue paper if you want to make leaves. Cut your wire pieces at 6 to 8in (15 to 20cm) and bundle them together neatly. Wrap the bundle with floral tape about 2in (5.1cm) from the top of the wire. With hydrangeas, you shouldn't separate the petals too much, but try to separate the petals a bit and move the ends around after the glue has dried. This will make the flower appear fuller and more natural.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Choose several sheets of colored tissue paper for your flower. Cut and bundle 30 pieces of floral wire to make the flower's base. Fluff up the petals.
