Repair text
What to text after an argument
After an argument, the next text should reduce heat, not reopen the fight. A good repair message is specific, calm, and does not demand instant forgiveness.
A better repair message
Own your part
Name one specific thing instead of giving a broad speech.
Lower the temperature
Do not relitigate every point in the first message.
Leave room
Give the other person time to respond without pressure.
Repair needs precision
A text after conflict can either calm the conversation or restart the argument. ClarityCue helps you check whether your wording sounds accountable, defensive, blaming, or too intense.

Avoid blame, scorekeeping, sarcasm, and pressure for an immediate answer.
Can I paste a draft?
