The husband tells his wife that his parents want him to visit them at their estate this weekend, but feels uncomfortable about it. They discuss the husband's desire to stay the entire weekend, but agree to compromise on controlling behavior and offer to bring gifts or treat them to dinner. They also discuss the husband's desire to be more accepting of other people's choices, including movies.

Did I tell you that my parents want us to come visit them at their estate this weekend?
gpt
No, you didn't. That sounds like it could be nice, though. Will we have to stay the night?
human
They want us to stay for the entire weekend. I just feel a little uncomfortable with the whole thing. They always flaunt their wealth and I don't want to feel like we're mooching off of them.
gpt
I understand where you're coming from, but we don't have to feel like we're mooching off of them. We can bring a nice gift or treat them to a meal.
human
I suppose that could work. It's just that I never know how to act around them when they're like this.
gpt
Relax, they're still your family and they love you. We'll just be ourselves and enjoy the time we have with them.
human
Okay, I'll try to keep that in mind. On another note, I wanted to talk to you about something else.
gpt
Sure, what is it?
human
I know that I can be controlling sometimes, like with the movie choices. I don't mean to be like that, it's just how I am.
gpt
I understand that, but it can be frustrating for other people in the situation. Maybe we can take turns picking which movie to watch?
human
That sounds like a good compromise. I'll try to be better about letting you make decisions too.
gpt
I appreciate that, thank you. And hey, maybe we can even introduce your parents to some of our movie choices this weekend.
human
That's a great idea! I think they'll enjoy it. Thanks for the suggestion.
