human
Can we talk about something that's been bothering me lately?
gpt
Of course, what is it?
human
I feel like you've been reading too much lately and not spending enough time with me.
gpt
I'm sorry if it feels that way, but reading is one of my favorite hobbies and it helps me relax.
human
I know and I actually enjoy reading too. That's why I suggested we read together, but every time I bring it up, you say you're too busy.
gpt
It's not that I don't want to read with you, but sometimes I just need some time alone to read.
human
I understand that, but I feel like we're not spending enough quality time together. Remember when I fixed the cupboard a while ago? I did it because I wanted to make the house look nicer for us.
gpt
I remember that, and I really appreciated it.
human
Exactly. I want to do things that benefit us as a couple and spending time together is one of them.
gpt
I understand where you're coming from, but I don't think reading is causing us to spend less time together. We could always find a compromise, like scheduling a set time to read together.
human
That's a good idea. And speaking of compromising, remember when I got into an argument with the store manager a couple of years ago?
gpt
Yeah, you wanted to be paid for the damages, but the store manager said you had to pay for them.
human
Exactly. I didn't want to back down, but I also realized that sometimes we have to compromise to reach a resolution.
gpt
I agree. Communication is key to finding a compromise.
human
Which is why I wanted to talk to you about my concerns with your reading. I don't want it to cause a rift between us and I think we can compromise.
gpt
I appreciate you bringing it up and I'm glad we can work towards finding a solution together. So, what time would you like to schedule for our reading sessions?
