I just remembered that I borrowed a videotape from my friend and forgot to return it.
gpt
Oh no, which friend did you borrow it from?
human
Sarah. I feel really embarrassed about it. I've had it for a while now.
gpt
Well, the best thing to do would be to return it as soon as possible. Do you have any plans to see Sarah soon?
human
Not really, but I can mail it to her. I just hope she's not mad at me.
gpt
I'm sure she won't be too upset about it. Just make sure to apologize when you return it.
human
Yeah, I will. It's just been a stressful few weeks, and I've been feeling guilty about a lot of things.
gpt
What's been stressing you out?
human
I don't know, just a lot of things. I've been feeling unhappy in our marriage lately. We argue a lot, and I feel like I can't do anything right in your eyes.
gpt
I had no idea you were feeling that way. Why haven't you talked to me about it before?
human
I don't know, I guess I felt like I would only make things worse by bringing it up.
gpt
Communication is important in a marriage. We need to be able to talk openly and honestly with each other.
human
I know. I just don't want to upset you or make things worse.
gpt
Trust me, not talking about it is only making things worse. Let's sit down and have a real conversation about what's been going on in our marriage. Maybe we can work through our issues together.
