Watch first
What this is
After a rupture, the bridge between two people feels broken — and it's hard to know how to cross back. This plan rebuilds it plank by plank: acknowledge the rupture, own your part without counter-blame, see their side, express the need underneath, and craft a real repair message. Healthy repair isn't self-blame or keeping score — it's accountability with care. Like kintsugi, a repaired bond can be stronger for having been mended.

- Repair is a two-way process — you can only offer your part.

- If you ever feel unsafe, pause and reach a helpline.
