Help me with a friendship that's gone wrong. What happened: [facts] How close we are / how long: [details] What I want long term: [repair, distance, unclear] What I've already tried: [any] Ask me up to 3 short questions first if anything important is missing. Wait for my answers. Then: 1. Two or three options (talk, pause, step back) with trade-offs. 2. A short message for the option that fits best. 3. What not to put in writing. 4. A one-line rule for what I'd accept as a repair. Only use what I've told you, leave blanks for anything I haven't given, and don't invent facts, diagnoses or legal outcomes. UK English. Stay in this ChatGPT chat. Do not turn on apps or connectors, and do not use memory from another chat.
