In CRISIS? Hotline #'s in USA are listed here.
-----------------
The goal of this website is to help people get over the issues which are keeping them stuck. I do this by providing information and meditation aids. But that's not always enough. Many people (maybe most) would also benefit from one-on-one counseling, ideally by a caring, qualified professional, but in many cases even an amateur can help a great deal by lending an ear. To find amateur co-counseling groups in your area, contact Co-Counseling Communities. If you need to talk to someone right now, you can get free individual counseling sessions from volunteers at 7cups.com.

For spiritual counsel & inspiration from a group of folks into Buddhist awakening, check out the facebook group AwakeningToReality, which is moderated by Soh Wei Yu, from the blog of the same name.

My father always used to tell me how important it is to have a friend that you can call in order to work out disagreements in any relationship. Most people don't do this. They just drop the issue and try to forget about it. That works, but only for some years. After a long time, subconscious resentment builds up, and you start noticing that you don't even like this person anymore, nor do you know why.
My parents were married for about 30 years until my dad died, so it seems that their emphasis on resolving disputes in a timely fashion may have been wise strategy.
Make a mutual plan not to go to bed angry with anyone that you wish to be close to.

Ask your friends if any of them have time to mediate.
If you don't have any friend that can facilitate listening and resolution, you can contact me and we may be able to work out a time for a phone call or video call.
