Then you know It's time to slow down, and address that stress.

I became more cautious and deliberate with my decisions in order not offend him because he had become very irritably on the edge. Still in that thick silence, my mind reflected on how our relationship began. Dayo wasn't particularly the out going type of man however he had the most impartful charisma coupled with a great heart, little wonder I could hardly resist his proposal after one year of dating.
