Let Someone Know What You Actually Want
Your Move
Express a preference and leave room for an honest answer.
Words you can borrow
I'd like to see each other more consistently. Is that something you want too?
Mystic Owl Reflection, not prediction.
Softer version
I've noticed I'd enjoy a little more consistency between us.
Prefer to keep this private?
Name the preference without judging it. Then identify what “more consistently” would mean in practice.
Why it matters
A preference describes what you would enjoy. A demand makes another person responsible for providing it. Naming your preference lets both people consider whether there is an arrangement they would choose. You can explain what consistency means to you without requiring agreement.
Then notice
Does your honesty create a useful conversation - even if the answer isn't immediately perfect?
Your preference can be worth expressing even when the answer is different from yours.
