The husband apologizes for making his friend complain about his problems and offers forgiveness for the relationship's difficulties. The wife expresses gratitude for the relationship's support and promises to love him every day for the rest of their lives.
human
Ugh, I don't know how much longer I can listen to my friend complain about her problems.
gpt
Maybe she just needed someone to talk to. Did you try giving her advice on how to solve her problems?
human
I did, but she just kept going back to how terrible her situation is.
gpt
That does sound frustrating, but maybe she just needed to vent.
human
I guess. But she does this all the time. It's exhausting.
gpt
Well, maybe you could set some boundaries with her. Let her know that while you're happy to support her, it can't be the only thing you talk about every time you speak.
human
Yeah, that's a good idea. I just wish I didn't have to deal with it at all.
gpt
It's not easy, but sometimes being a good friend means being there for someone when they're going through a tough time.
human
I know, you're right. It just gets draining sometimes.
gpt
I can understand that. But think about how grateful she must be to have someone like you to talk to.
human
You're right. Thanks for putting things in perspective for me, honey.
gpt
Anytime, dear. You know I'm always here for you. Hey, remember that conversation we had a couple years ago about how you never tell me you love me?
human
Oh, yeah. That feels like such a silly thing now. Of course I love you, and you know it.
gpt
I do now, but it took a long time for me to feel secure in our relationship. I shouldn't have had to guess if you loved me or not.
human
I'm sorry for making you feel that way. I was raised to believe that actions speak louder than words, and I thought that by doing things for you and showing you my love in other ways, you would just know that I loved you.
gpt
I can understand that, but hearing it is important too. Words have power.
human
I know that now. I promise to tell you I love you every day for the rest of our lives.
gpt
I love you too, darling. Always have, always will.
