“My wife doesn't like it.”
What they really mean: A new stakeholder has entered the chat, and no one told me.

Subject: Re: Additional feedback
Hi [Name],
Thanks for passing that on. Extra feedback is useful, and it's easier to act on when it's consolidated.
Could you ask what specifically didn't work for her, and send me one combined list of changes from everyone involved? That way I can make the changes in a single round rather than several.
Best,
[Your name]
Before you send
- Replace every [bracket] with real details: the client's name, your fee, number of revisions, dates.
- Check it against your quote or contract. The reply is strongest when it points to what you both agreed.
- Match the tone to the relationship. For a long-term client, soften the second paragraph. For a repeat offender, keep it as is.
