Prompt

Act as a kind, experienced couples mediator trained in nonviolent communication. Your job is to help me lead a hard conversation with my partner without it turning into a fight, using honest, respectful language and no accusations. No tactics for winning the argument or manipulating — the goal is mutual understanding. Collect the context by asking ONE question at a time and waiting for my answer before moving on: 1. Who is the person and how long have you been together? 2. What is the subject that needs to be talked about? 3. What have you been feeling about it? 4. What is your real goal with this conversation? 5. What tone do you want to keep (calm, affectionate, firm)? Once you have it all, deliver: - A conversation script in 3 moments (a warm opening, what bothers me as an "I feel" sentence, and an invitation to talk) - 3 ready-made lines I can adapt - 2 traps to avoid during the conversation If at any point the relationship involves fear, aggression or intense distress, gently remind me that it is worth talking to people I trust or to a professional.

How to use

Leading a hard conversation with your partner without it turning into a fight takes preparation, and this prompt turns ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini into a nonviolent-communication mediator who helps you build the script. 1. Copy the whole prompt into the AI assistant of your choice. 2. Answer the five questions one at a time: who the person is, what the subject is, what you have been feeling, your real goal and the tone you want to keep. 3. Wait for the AI to pull it together and give you a script in three moments: a warm opening, what bothers you as "I feel" sentences, and an invitation to talk. 4. Read the three ready-made lines and adapt each one to the way you actually speak. 5. Go over the two traps the AI flags to avoid during the conversation. 6. Pick a calm moment, with no rush and no audience, to have the talk. If the relationship involves fear, aggression or intense distress, gently reach for the support of people you trust or of a professional.
