The husband avoids Persons A and B because they talk about themselves and accomplishments, while Person B puts others down. The wife suggests talking to them about it instead of avoiding it, but the husband suggests trying to address the issue head on rather than avoid it.

I've been avoiding Persons A and B lately.
gpt
Why is that?
human
Person A always talks about themselves and their accomplishments, while Person B is always putting other people down.
gpt
That sounds exhausting to be around. Have you talked to them about it?
human
No, I don't want to start a conflict. It's just easier to steer clear of them.

I understand, but sometimes it's better to address the issue instead of avoiding it. Remember when you wanted to start a charity to help people in need? You didn't avoid that challenge, you faced it head on.
human
You have a point. Maybe I'll try talking to them about it.
gpt
It's worth a shot. And if they don't respond well, at least you were honest about how you feel. Plus, you never know, maybe they'll make an effort to change their behavior." 
human
That's true. Thanks for the advice.

Of course. We're a team, we support each other.
