Using Relationship Compromise Planner

When to use this

Use this when both partners want to work through a specific, ordinary disagreement and can speak freely. Choose one decision with a real deadline before starting.

How to read the result

The checked items show that you have considered each part of the discussion. They do not produce a fair answer automatically or measure either person's commitment.

What this tool cannot do

This planner is not appropriate when threats, control, or fear make agreement unsafe. It cannot decide whether core needs are compatible or replace qualified support when needed.

Next step

Try the agreement only if both people can genuinely accept it. Return at the planned date, ask what worked, and revise the arrangement if it created resentment.

This tool provides general reflection and does not submit your entries, diagnose a condition, or replace qualified professional advice.
