I understand that Luke has his own opinions about our relationship, but I don't think that means we need to make drastic changes.
gpt
But I feel like we've been operating under a system where your needs come first, and I want to have more of a say in what happens between us.
human
I don't think that's entirely true. We both make decisions together.
gpt
But when it comes down to it, the final say always seems to be yours. I just want to feel like we're on equal footing.
human
I hear you, but I don't think it's fair to change the dynamic of our relationship just because Luke thinks we should.
gpt
It's not just about Luke. It's about what I want, too. I want to feel like my opinions and preferences are valued and taken into consideration.
human
Alright, let's talk about what changes you think we need to make so that we can have a more equal partnership.
gpt
Well, for starters, I think we need to make decisions together and really hear each other out instead of just defaulting to your ideas.
human
Okay, I can see how that would be important. Is there anything else you think we need to work on?
gpt
I also think we need to make sure that we're both putting in equal effort and that we're not just expecting one person to handle everything.
human
That's a fair point. I think we can work on that. Let's make a conscious effort to communicate better and make changes that will benefit both of us.
