Make room for a correction

Offer the other person a chance to correct your summary before moving toward a decision.

Try this

  1. Summarize the other person’s point in one or two sentences, keeping your interpretation separate.
  2. Ask whether the summary is accurate. If corrected, update the wording before using it as the basis for a plan.

A worked example

“Have I understood that you want fewer plans, not less time together?”

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

Before you leave it here

Revise your summary if it is wrong; do not defend it as close enough.

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.

Ourling’s library uses AI-assisted original writing. These are practical exercises, not clinical advice or promises about relationship outcomes. Suggest a correction or a missing situation.
