I just don't understand why you're so upset with me.
gpt
Well, you've been ignoring me lately and it hurts my feelings.
human
I haven't been ignoring you, I've just been really busy with work.
gpt
I understand that work can be demanding, but it feels like you don't make an effort to spend time with me.
human
I'm sorry if it feels that way. I'll try to make more of an effort to spend time with you.
gpt
That would be nice. I just want to feel like you care about our relationship.
human
I do care, I just get caught up in my own head sometimes.
gpt
I know, and that's why I'm glad you have your rulebook. But sometimes I feel like you rely on it too much.
human
It's just a way for me to feel like I have control over my environment and my emotions.

I understand that, but sometimes life doesn't follow the rules in a book. And I want us to be able to work through any challenges together.
human
I know, and I'm willing to try. I just need you to be patient with me.
gpt
I will. And I appreciate that you're willing to work on things with me.
