Discuss different social preferences

Separate the event decision from assumptions about friendliness or commitment.

Try this

  1. List the actual events under consideration and which matter most to each person.
  2. Compare attending together, attending separately and declining. Keep each person’s social preference distinct from a judgment about the people involved.

A worked example

“You enjoy a full weekend of visits. I need an unplanned afternoon.”

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

Before you leave it here

Explore which events matter most and whether attending separately is acceptable.

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.
