By what happened before, not by how bad it felt · History decides, not the heat of the moment.
Repair it, keep it smaller, or end it · Three honest paths stay open after a break.
Names the harm, skips excuses, says what will change · Short, specific and forward looking is what counts.
Denial, blame shifting or a repeat performance · Those answers show the pattern will continue.
Repair · An owned one-off with change invites repair.
False · Downgrading is quiet: fewer plans and less confiding.
It is a pattern, so shrink or end it · Five dramatic apologies with repeats bury trust.
Their behaviour after it · Actions after the talk cast the deciding vote.
