Before Visiting Friends, Agree on a Code Word That Means 'Let's Go Home'

One of you is always ready to leave before the other. Without a signal, the options are ugly: suffering in silence, making an awkward public exit request, or one person dragging the other out mid-conversation. A pre-agreed code word -- something innocent like "I wonder if we locked the car" -- solves this gracefully. No scene, no resentment. It's a tiny pact that says: we're a team, even at parties.
The point
A code word lets you leave social gatherings gracefully without putting your partner on the spot.
