Re-establish a positive emotional tone
- Raise the issue. "I know that we are not seeing eye-to-eye on this issue right now, and it is upsetting for both of us, but I'm really optimistic we can work this out."
- Suggest a time out or try a brief topic change.
- Commit to a shared relationship goal. Agree that your relationship is important and that you both want to restore mutual positive feelings.
- Craft your shared narrative to increase the willingness to forgive and reconcile. Reflect on how both your actions contributed to the failure. Assume the best about the other person's intentions.
