The husband wants to prove to himself that he can do it alone by fixing a shelf in the garage while the wife holds screws. They also discuss past experiences of being determined to ski alone and taking care of children independently.
human
I don't need your help. I can do it on my own.
gpt
What do you need to do?
human
Just fixing this shelf in the garage.
gpt
Are you sure you don't want me to help? I could hold the shelf while you put in the screws.
human
No, I've got this. I want to prove to myself that I can do it alone.
gpt
Alright, I understand. Do you remember when you were determined to make it to the top of the hill while skiing on fresh snow?
human
Oh yeah, my fingers were so numb! But I was so excited to ski that it didn't even matter.
gpt
That's how you are now, determined and excited to prove to yourself that you can do it on your own.
human
Exactly! And do you remember that time when you had to take care of the kids by yourself because I was already in bed after being stuck in traffic?
gpt
Yes, that was a tough day. But I understand how you feel. You want to be independent and show your capabilities.
human
Exactly. And even a few years ago, when I had to sneak out of the room to use the bathroom, I did it on my own. It's just part of who I am.
gpt
I get it. Well, if you need anything just let me know.
human
I will. Thanks for understanding.
