1. Be honest with yourself: If there are problems in your relationship, take matters into your own hands, and talk to your significant other before you chat it up with someone else.
2. Take the next step: After discussing the issues that lead you to think of others, you should figure out how to work on the problems in your relationship together. As a team, you may find success.
3. Take time out: Working out kinks and complications can be draining. Set time aside to unwind from the stress involved. Whether this time is spent as a couple or alone, is irrelevant; you need to decide what works best for the two of you.
