Check in when company is enough

Make it clear that being together does not have to produce a meaningful discussion.

Try this

  1. Ask for a defined period of quiet company or an open-ended arrangement with an easy exit.
  2. Choose a setting where each person can do their own activity. Do not assume silence means agreement to stay indefinitely.

A worked example

“Could we sit here for a while without finding something to talk about?”

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

Before you leave it here

Leave room for either person to change the arrangement if quiet company stops feeling comfortable.

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.
