Problem: Article: Poor communication likely contributed to the betrayal; one or both of you was not being open and honest. To ensure this is remedied, identify barriers to effective communication and ways to overcome them. This will show your partner you are committed to avoiding future betrayal.  If you or your partner is uncomfortable discussing emotions, agree to write letters to each other about emotional subjects. If you and your partner do not communicate frequently enough, schedule weekly dates to discuss your relationship. If you are struggling to identify why you and your partner are not communicating effectively, consider enlisting the help of a couples counselor. A counselor will be able to help you identify and solve communication problems. You may be at a loss as to how to earn your partner's trust again. Ask your partner what you can do to help them move toward trust. This may mean communicating more regularly, spending more time together, going to counseling, being patient, or something else. Ask your partner to guide your behavior in order to build trust. For example, "What can I do to help you feel more secure in our relationship, and prove my faithfulness from now on?" Contact throughout the day will demonstrate you are thinking about your partner. This will help ease concerns that you are acting without regard for him or her. Your partner is more likely to trust you if they feel connected to you. A good way to maintain contact without being needy is to text funny photos or brief descriptions of funny interactions you have with others. Once you have apologized and made a plan to behave differently, try not to dwell on the hurtful event(s). Refocus attention on the present by engaging in fun activities together. If you are spending more time with your partner, they will worry less about what you are doing when you are apart.  Find a hobby you and your partner can enjoy together. This will increase the amount of time you spend together and can strengthen your bond. Show them how much you appreciate them, and how important the relationship is to you. When your partner feels valued, they will feel secure in the relationship.  Try leaving notes of appreciation in places you know your partner will see them. If you demonstrate appreciation with gifts, be careful your partner doesn't feel like you are trying to buy your way out of trouble. Help out around the house to show them you notice and appreciate how much they do. Be patient with your partner while he or she learns to trust you again. This is out of your hands, and trying to speed the process along may cause your partner to feel you are not respecting their feelings.  Instead of focusing on something you have no control over (time), focus on the things you can control, such as being reliable and consistent.  Show your partner you have made long-term changes; don't just do things for the short term and then fall back into old habits.
Summary: Communicate clearly with your partner. Ask your partner what they need. Call and/or text regularly. Plan activities to spend time together, without focusing on the betrayal. Express gratitude for your partner. Accept that it will take time.

Problem: Article: Blowing a kiss is a gesture that is well-understood in North American culture, but not necessarily in others. Be aware of your cultural surroundings or the cultural background of the person you wish to blow a kiss to. If you make the gesture to someone who doesn't understand it, you may be left in an awkward situation. In Brazil, for instance, the gesture of bringing your fingers to your mouth as if you kiss them signifies the enjoyment of a meal and not a sign of affection. Before you blow a kiss, make sure it is an appropriate situation and done in the right context. Blowing a kiss is often seen as a flirtatious gesture, which can be problematic in the workplace. It is also a gesture that you and the recipient of your kiss may not wish for certain people to see (e.g., gossiping neighbors.) Blowing a kiss is a bold statement of affection that you should think about carefully beforehand. A person who does not want to receive your affections may feel uncomfortable or harassed by the gesture. If there is any chance that the person will be made uncomfortable by the kiss, avoid doing it. For instance, if a person has already rejected your romantic advances, avoid blowing them a kiss.
Summary: Be mindful about your cultural surroundings. Choose an appropriate time and place. Make sure the person won't be uncomfortable.

Problem: Article: Facial hair will grow in different directions on different parts of the face. Try to note the directions before applying your shaving cream. Do not pull your skin taut when shaving as this can cause ingrown hairs.  After each stroke, rinse the razor well. This removes any excess shaving cream, dead skin or hair build up from the blades. Don't press the razor too hard. Remember that the blade does the work, not your muscles. When shaving under the nose, it is common for hair to grow down towards the tip and outwards. To prevent cuts, tuck your top lip under your teeth. This will pull your skin taut and will allow better exposure in such a small area. Use the razor and do short, small strokes, while working from the outside towards the middle of the lip. Don't be afraid to only use the corner of the blade. Small strokes will allow for more accuracy and closeness. Use a similar trick for shaving the chin, by pulling your lower lip up around your teeth. This will flatten some curves of the chin. When shaving the chin, use short strokes and try your best for for a slight over-lap. The overlap will catch any missed hairs. Don't be afraid to open your mouth and move your jaw in order to have optimum exposure on your chin. Hair on the neck will often grow upwards. Use the razor in upward, smooth strokes. Keep in mind the neck can be a very sensitive area, so it is important to shave efficiently. If your skin is not overly sensitive, do one last shave gently against the grain of the hair. This will cut the stubble directly at the skin but is to be used with caution, as not all faces can withstand this contact. When shaving against the grain, the hair is cut as close to the skin as possible. This will give the closest shave possible, but will also remove extra skin. While removing some skin is a normal part of the shaving process, this extra step can cause irritation such as bumps, ingrown hairs, or rashes. Hence, this step may be unacceptable on more sensitive parts of your face. Use cool water or a gentle facial cleanser to remove any remaining cream or loose hairs off your face. When drying your face, make sure to use a clean towel. Patting your skin dry, rather than rubbing it, prevents the skin from facing further irritation. While your face is moist but not wet, squeeze or spray a small amount of your aftershave into your hands. Rub your hands together and gently apply the aftershave to your shaved face and neck.
Summary:
Shave in short, steady strokes with the grain of the hair and rinse the razor after each stroke. Shave against the grain (Optional). Rinse and dry your face.  Apply aftershave or balm.
