The wife suggests acknowledging his busyness and explaining his worth and abilities, but reminds him that it's not a reflection of his worth or abilities.

I'm really nervous about going to ask for a raise today.
gpt
Why is that?
human
Well, I don't want to come off as too greedy or entitled.
gpt
I understand. But you work really hard and deserve to be compensated accordingly.
human
Thanks for saying that. It does make me feel a bit better.
gpt
Do you have a plan for how you're going to approach it with your boss?
human
Yeah, I'm going to start off by acknowledging how busy she is, and then explain the value I bring to the company and why I believe I deserve a raise.
gpt
That sounds like a good approach. And if she doesn't give you the raise, remember that it's not a reflection of your worth or abilities.
human
I know, but it's hard not to take it personally.
gpt
I understand. Just remember that you have other options and opportunities, and this is just one job out of many.
human
That's a good point. Thanks for being so supportive.
gpt
Of course. And hey, when you come home tonight, how about we do some more cooking together? It was really fun last time.
human
That sounds great. I'm looking forward to it.
