I can see how that made this feel unsafe instead of like a conversation. I want to slow down and understand what landed badly. ## A repair script when you got defensive I started defending myself instead of listening. I understand that probably made you feel alone with the problem. Can you tell me the part I missed first? ## A repair script when your partner felt alone I see that you needed me beside you, not across from you. I am sorry I made you carry that alone. One thing I can do next time is name the issue with you before I react to it. ## A repair script for repeat arguments This is starting to feel like our usual loop.
