ONE TOPIC / ROOM TO CHOOSE
You can reopen a topic
without reopening everything.
Name one thing you want to discuss. Choose a time. Leave room for a different answer. Build a short invitation you can edit before deciding whether to use it.
Prefer a paper exercise? Try two listening turns.
A writing aid for everyday disagreements—not a requirement to reconnect.
AN INVITATION, NOT A DEMAND
One time.
A choice.
Draft a small invitation
Use the local copy or download action, then decide what to do with the draft. This page never sends a message or records an agreement.
MAKE THE RESULT USEFUL
Keep the invitation separate from the outcome.
- One topic: “Weekend errands” is easier to understand than “everything that is wrong.”
- One offer: suggest a time without treating it as booked.
- A real choice: a different time, more space or no conversation must remain possible.
If contact does not feel safe or welcome, you do not need to use this draft. This tool does not assess safety or replace professional support.
Did I get that right?
If you both want to talk after the invitation, try two listening turns. Pick one small point, say it in your own words, and give the other person a chance to correct the details. Either person can pass or stop.

Try it with Saturday plans
- “When our dinner plans change, I want a quick heads-up.”
- “Do you mean you want us to keep the original time?”
- “The time can change. I just want to know before I start cooking.”
- “Got it. The notice matters more than the time.”
Your two turns
- One person starts with “One part of this that matters to me is …”
- The listener puts that point in their own words. “I heard that … Did I get that right?”
- The speaker can say “Yes” or “The part I would change is …”
- Switch roles and repeat those three prompts.
Where would you like to leave it? You can finish here, come back later, or try one small step if you both choose it. Speaking is enough. Writing is optional.
