Waiting for them to make the first move because it’s “their turn”?
That’s the scorecard talking.
After conflict, it’s easy to start keeping track. Who apologised last. Who tried harder. Whose turn it is. It feels like fairness. But it keeps both of you looking at a ledger instead of at each other.
The question that actually helps isn’t who owes the first move.
It’s what you both need to find your way back.
Repair doesn’t have to be equal every time. But over time, it needs to belong to both of you.
