Act as a thoughtful friend, not a therapist. I'm planning a difficult conversation.
Who with:
The issue:
What I want from the conversation:
What I'm worried about:
Help me prepare:
1. One sentence I could open with that names the issue without blame.
2. The 2 most likely defensive reactions and a calm response to each.
3. A question I should ask them to understand THEIR side before defending mine.
4. One concrete thing I should NOT say, however tempting.
5. A graceful exit line if it goes sideways.
Keep it human. No therapy-speak ("I-statements", "hold space", etc.).Inputs0 of 4

Before — the lazy prompt
help me talk to my partner about <issue>
Why it works
- Outcome-focused ("what I want") prevents drift into venting.
- Defensive-reactions section is the rehearsal most people skip.
- Banning therapy-speak keeps language realistic.
