What do you mean by "negotiating" in this context? When I think of negotiating, I think of something like this:
Prosecution: Your client must go to prison for five years.
Defense: My client should get probation.
Prosecution: He's a conniving drug dealer! No way!
Defense: He was just selling crack to raise money to support his seven children! Poor guy!
Prosecution: Okay, three years.
Defense: Your case is weak. The cop who arrested him was drunk and not wearing any pants. Do you think a jury is going to believe his testimony?
Prosecution: He was too wearing pants! Okay one year.
Defense: Deal!
You're taking a situation where both parties want a different result and finding a middle ground with which you both can live.
So, in terms of a relationship, I could see negotiating, say, where you'll go on vacation or for dinner, or what kind of wedding you'd have -- is that what you mean? But your question seems to involve qualities of the individuals in the relationship. How do you negotiate that? If that's what you mean, I don't think it's really possible or a good idea.
