ReplyWill it work out? I'm a metal pig, Scorpio 11/1971. My wife is a water ox, 02/1973.
I did something really stupid this year that has really put a stress on our marriage. I've apologized but she's still on the fence about forgiving me. Do you think she will and we'll have a good 2019 together?

00ReplyDear, Aries, cheer up! Everything is going well. You will find a good job and overcome the difficulties only if you pick yourself up and take efforts for it. To be honest, if you are always upset and constantly complain what you have suffered, it is no doubt that you will fail to do anything. SO cheer up and don't give up. Nothing will stop you and defeat you if you can stand up to face bravely. Good luck to you.

00ReplyStart a new life. First think about what you would like to be doing and the next day start doing it. Even going outside and checking the weather to putting a breakfast of the table, then clean up afterwards.
Look into a new job, don't be too fussy. Wear clean clothes over a clean body this help wash away the lactic acid left on the surface of your skin. That can make you feel tired quickly. All this will give you something positive to do and plan. No longer a need to dwell on the past pain. Say to yourself "I can so this" and say it when required.
The above are only some if the millions of activities you can do for yourself and also by helping yourself you can help others. Speak calmly to your partner do not force your issue or tell them too much. Allow them to come to their own conclusions and you need to accept a response to your new behavior for any relationship to be strong.

So you can have a good talk with your partner and tell him your feeling and ideas and seek the best solution together. I believe you can overcome this problem and be together forever. Hope to be helpful. Best wishes to you.
