I feel like I'm stuck in a rut. I hate my job and I don't know what I want to do with my life.

What do you mean you hate your job? You've been working there for years and it's been paying the bills.
human
I know, but I just don't feel fulfilled. I feel like there's something more out there for me.

Have you thought about possibly going back to school and pursuing a different career?
human
Maybe, but it's not just my job that's the problem. I feel like I'm having a mid-life crisis.
gpt
A mid-life crisis? What does that mean?
human
I don't know. I just feel lost and like I'm stuck in a rut. And to be honest, I've been thinking about getting a divorce.

What?! Where is this coming from?

I've been talking to someone, a younger woman, who makes me feel alive again. I feel like I connect with her more than I do with you.

I can't believe you would even consider leaving me for someone else. We've been together for years and have built a life together.

I know it's not fair to you, and I don't expect you to understand. I just feel like I need a change.

Well, what about us trying to work on things together? Have you thought about seeing a therapist or counselor to help us through this?

I don't know. I just feel so confused.
gpt
I think we owe it to each other and to our marriage to at least try to work through these issues together before making any drastic decisions.
human
You're right. Maybe we can start there.
