the only one i can think of off the top of my head is .. validating a spouse who wants a divorce.

i understand that you want this. i do not but i'm not going to stand in your way if this is what you want.

i dunno .. it could use some polishing but that one has been thrown around? does that help a bit?

(side note: i don't think it's proper validation to say "i understand that you *feel* that a d is necessary." because then you're telling them how they feel?)
