3-step conflict reset
- Describe the appeal in one sentence each.
- Identify one non-negotiable and one flexible preference per partner.
- Generate 5 bridge names and vote again the next day.
Know when to move forward
A disagreement is ready for the next step when both partners can explain the other person's preference, even if they still prefer different names. You do not need to force a final decision in the same session.
Choose the next conversation tool
If the conversation stalls
- Park the name instead of repeatedly voting while frustrated.
- Return to each person's non-negotiable and flexible preference.
- Try bridge names before reopening the entire discovery feed.
- Use the Partner Features guide if shared state or roles look incorrect.
