Appreciate a shared accomplishment with clear credit

Describe what each person actually contributed to a joint result instead of letting one person disappear into a vague we.

Try this

  1. List the contributions you know occurred and confirm any you are unsure about.
  2. When sharing the result beyond the two of you, ask how each person wants to be credited and whether the result can be public.

A worked example

“You chose the photos and I assembled the pages. I’m pleased with what we made together.”

An invented example to adapt, not a real exchange or a script you have to follow.

Before you leave it here

Do not claim that both people completed work only one person did. Shared ownership can coexist with accurate attribution of different contributions.

This is a voluntary planning exercise. Keep your notes private, adapt the language, and leave any question unanswered. It does not require Ourling or a purchase.
