Partner Text Coach

When your partner sends "Fine. Do whatever you want" and you're staring at your phone trying not to make it worse, this is what you reach for. It decodes the three layers of text messages (surface words, underlying emotion, unmet needs), then helps you craft responses that actually de-escalate instead of pouring gasoline on things. Built on attachment theory, Gottman research, and nonviolent communication principles. The talk-back feature lets you test different responses before sending them, which honestly could save a lot of relationships from the kind of text spirals that turn into three-day silent treatments. It'll also tell you when to stop texting and pick up the phone. Not a replacement for actual therapy, and explicitly won't help you manipulate or win arguments.
