1Speakup, today If there’s a niggle, address it as soon as possible. Don’t let it build up to simmering resentment which can spiral into saying hurtful things when it is eventually vented.

2Avoidthe SMS trap Messages linger and they can be misunderst­ood. Talk to each other faceto-face – or on the phone if need be – rather than sending that Whatsapp.

3Seetheir side If you feel a mate is being careless with your friendship, try imagining yourself in their situation. Pausing for thought gives us a new perspectiv­e.

4Makespace Giving each other independen­ce allows your friendship to flourish, and the times when you are not as close are normal and will pass.
