Be Honest and Direct: Setting Boundaries in Relationships

To resolve a problematic relationship, be honest about your feelings and assertive about your needs. Don't let someone mistreat you or take advantage of your time and love. Have a straightforward conversation with them, make it clear that you deserve better and that their behavior is not acceptable. It's important to be direct and not play games. If they can't meet your expectations, it might be best to move on. However, if you want to remain friends, make sure it's genuine and not just a tactic.
