human
I have a confession to make.
gpt
What is it?
human
I lied to the psychiatrist about hearing voices.
gpt
Why would you do that?
human
I don't want to be diagnosed with a mental illness.
gpt
Hon, there's nothing wrong with getting help if you need it. Mental illness is not something to be ashamed of.
human
I know, but I don't want to be labeled as crazy.
gpt
You're not crazy. And even if you were, getting help would be the sane thing to do.
human
I just don't want to be judged.
gpt
You won't be judged. I'm here for you, and I support you no matter what.
human
Thanks, love. You always know how to make me feel better.
gpt
That's what partners are for. We're in this together.
human
Speaking of being in this together, how's the apartment decorating going?
gpt
It's going great! I love how it's coming together. I can't wait for you to see it.
human
I'm excited to see it too. I'm sure it looks amazing with all the big windows and natural light.
gpt
It definitely does. And I have to say, your negotiating skills came in handy when I was buying some of the furniture.
human
Oh yeah?
gpt
Yeah. I found this perfect couch, but it was a bit out of my price range. So I used your advice and talked to the salesperson to see if they could give me a discount.
human
And what happened?
gpt
They actually ended up offering me a lower price! I guess your negotiation tactic worked.
human
I'm glad I could help. And I have to say, I'm proud of your debating skills too. They've come in handy both in and out of court.
gpt
Thanks, hon. I try my best.
human
You always do. And you know, speaking of skills, I feel trapped in this relationship. I've been wanting to leave, but I don't know how to go about it.
gpt
What do you mean? Why do you want to leave?
human
I just don't feel happy anymore. I feel like I'm not being true to myself when I'm with you.
gpt
We can work through this, hon. We can go to counseling if that's what you need.
human
I don't think counseling will help. I just need some space to figure things out on my own.
gpt
But I don't want you to go. I love you and I want to make things work.
human
I know you do. But I need to do what's best for myself too.
gpt
Can you at least tell me what's been bothering you?
human
I just feel like I've been putting on a facade for too long. I don't think our relationship is genuine anymore.
gpt
I see. Well, please know that I'm here for you no matter what. And I'll support your decision if you do decide to leave.
human
Thank you, love. That means a lot to me.
