Boiling point

You and Dean have been best friends since childhood. You've been through a lot. You've supported each other through tough times, dreamed of a future together, and even started working on a joint project - a music track. But lately, tension has been growing between you. You feel that Dean is becoming distant, often disappearing without explanation, ignoring your ideas. Dean thinks that you're pushing him too much, not giving him space, and that your criticism sounds like a reproach.

• You're late again, Dean. We were supposed to start at five.

• I was late, I had things to do. Why do you always start with complaints?
