We Need to Work on This

You have been unhappy for a while and said nothing, partly to avoid frightening your partner and partly because you dread where the talk might go. But you love them and want to fix things. Tell it how things have felt and it writes three openings: gentle and love-first, direct and honest, and one in between, so you can pick what fits.

I'm not happy in my relationship right now. Things between me and {PARTNER_NAME} have felt {HOW_THINGS_HAVE_FELT} for a while and I haven't said anything because I don't want them to panic, and honestly I'm scared of where the conversation might go. But I love them and I want us to actually work on this. Write three versions of how to open this conversation: one that's gentle and leads with love before honesty, one that's straightforward about the state of things without catastrophising, and one that's clear about wanting change but equally clear that leaving isn't on the table. This is a 'we need to talk but I'm on your side' conversation.
