Well we are at different places in our lives. My partner wants to leave to go to another state to be with her cousin. I want to stay around the family we have here already.

I enjoyed it, surprisingly. I thought it was pretty self-reflective to try and be a peer supporter and figure out what to say based on my life experiences.
I did have issues with the tooltips overlapping the strategy selection boxes in the test, this made selecting a strategy more difficult.
Hello, how are you today?

That's good to hear. Is there anything that you would like to talk about?
assistant
Question
Yes, me and my partner are considering breaking up as she wants to move to another state to be with her cousin and have a fresh start. I want to stay and be around my family. So that is the dilemma.

So it sounds to me like you're experiencing stress about choosing between staying in your current relationship, or staying close to your family. Do I have that right?
assistant

I can understand how that feels. Anybody would have a hard time deciding between those options. May I ask you a question about your relationship?

That helps me understand that this is quite a problem, however talking to you now I feel like you can trust yourself to eventually reach the best decision. Have you talked this out with your family and your partner together?

How did that go? Did everybody feel like they had their voice heard in a cooperative manner?
assistant
Question
I feel like everyone respected both of our wishes as they were different but everyone also offered advice and shared their experiences. Everyone was cooperative.
user

So you had a cooperative conversation, but not a very productive one, is that right?
assistant
Restatement or Paraphrasing
Yes we listened to each other but it was still a more agree to disagree conversation. No over talking or arguments.
user

I understand how those conversations go, believe me we all have them. They don't seem to solve much a first, but we better off doing it than not.
assistant
Reflection of feelings
Yes I have come to understand that we must have those hard conversations rather than avoiding it. Thanks for the talk!
