How to set a limit with your partner
With a partner, a limit can sound like a complaint about the whole relationship. Saying it plainly, about one thing, is what keeps it small.
Tonecraft lets you rehearse it first. Describe what keeps happening, choose gentle, direct or firm, and walk through six turns. At each turn you see three ways they might answer.

Brushes it off
It's one dinner. Why does it matter so much?
