Positive/negative cases

Name a real episode that clearly counts as the thing and a matched one that clearly does not, then say what separates them. Pair them so the contrast pins down the line, instead of offering one flattering illustration that anything could resemble.

Example

Positive: last Tuesday's talk about the $4,000 credit card balance, where each of you repeated the other's point before answering. Negative: the Sunday argument about dishes, where you both raised your voices and neither restated anything. The difference is restating, not the topic.
