yeah the vibes of “you suggest, I decide” are rancid. what you want is a more egalitarian approach. enter the 5-3-1:
- either of you suggests five specific options
- the other cuts to three
- the first person picks from those three
clear start, clear end. if the second person doesn’t like any of the five, they can throw them out and propose a different five.
this way it’s both of you against the problem of “what the fuck are we gonna eat for dinner” instead of one of you saying “guess what mood I’m in! nope you’re wrong try again teehee”.
when you’re a team, no problem is too big to solve. when you’re divided, no problem is too small to crash out over.
be a team.
@DevotionOath Just tell them "Perhaps I wasn't sufficiently clear. First, we will take care of the "Report to Caius Cosades" business. Because until you have properly reported to me, and meekly agreed to follow my orders, then you won't be getting any orders from me. 1/2
