Help me cool this text argument.

Latest messages: [paste]
What I need tonight: [pause / resolve one point / apology]
Relationship: [details]

Ask me up to 3 short questions first if anything important is missing. Wait for my answers.

Then:
1. A de-escalation sendable message.
2. A pause line if resolution tonight is unlikely.
3. Points to stop re-arguing by text.
4. A private vent I will not send.

Only use what I've told you, leave blanks for anything I haven't given, and don't invent facts, quotes or what the other person thinks. Give a sendable version and, when I've pasted a vent, a one-line note on what you left out and why. This is help with wording, not legal advice. UK English.

Stay in this ChatGPT chat. Do not turn on apps or connectors, and do not use memory from another chat.

A short example

Fill the blanks, then paste. paste: a short note you already have. pause / resolve one point / apology: a short note you already have. Leave the rest of the prompt as written.
