I don't know what to do anymore. I feel like I'm constantly being ignored.
gpt
What do you mean?
human
I mean that I feel like I'm always the one who has to compromise, communicate, and empathize. You don't seem to care about my feelings.
gpt
That's not true. I do care about your feelings.
human
Then why do I feel like my needs don't matter? I'm tired of feeling like I'm not important in this relationship.
gpt
I'm sorry that you feel that way. I didn't realize I was making you feel like your needs don't matter.
human
It's not just that. I feel like you're distant and unresponsive most of the time.
gpt
I know I can be distant at times, but it's not because I don't care. It's just how I cope with things.
human
I understand that, but it's not fair to me. I need you to be there for me, just like I'm always there for you.
gpt
I hear you. I'll try to be more present and responsive in the future.
human
Thank you. It's just been really hard for me lately, and I need your support.
gpt
I understand. Let's work on communicating better so that we're both getting what we need from this relationship.
human
Agreed. And maybe we can link it to our past conversation about moving in together. That could help us feel more connected and less distant.
gpt
That's a good idea. We'll work on it together.
