Deliberately issuing a dud cheque is often considered a fraudulent act, and treated as a criminal offence in a lot of countries. May I point out that aside minor issues such as irregular signatures, stale-dated cheques, and the like, insufficient funds is the main reason why many cheques bounce.

EMOTIONAL BURNOUT
The situation described above is similar to burning out emotionally. It is a situation in which a spouse experiences chronic stress, usually as a result of constantly trying to meet demands which require far more than the resources at his or her disposal.

REALITY CHECK
Have you driven yourself too hard, running in different directions, trying to achieve your targets, such that you have little energy ('bouncing cheques') left for your marriage? If left unchecked, this can ruin your health, happiness, and relationships.


The last thing a burnt-out spouse is thinking about is how to be romantic.

ASSIGNMENT: Carve out a special time to spend by yourself; what I call 'Me time'. The purpose of this is to identify and address your major stressors in order to reprioritize and restrategize.
