The prompt

My partner and I avoid talking about money, and I want to start with . My side of it: . I’m hoping for . You’ve only heard from me, so don’t take my side. First, tell me in a few lines how this might look from their side, labeled as a guess. Then plan a first 30-minute talk: an opening line that doesn’t blame, the round numbers each of us should bring so we’re looking at the same facts, three questions we both answer about what money means to each of us, and the one decision to aim for. End with what to leave for a second talk and one thing I should be ready to hear.
