The SECOND problem is, once your partner is willing to negotiate with you... how do you get yourself and the other person to STICK TO THE PLAN?
Another sidebar problem that crops up is, what do you do when the other person has changed, but hasn't changed enough? Even though THEY THINK they've changed A TON about themselves and you are just an insensitive unappreciative ogre?
No, skillfully negotiating is definitely NOT the problem. Course, that's just my opinion....
