Hi Julie, sorry I'm late. Traffic was really bad today.
gpt
It's okay. I just wish you would have called to let me know you were going to be late.
human
I'm sorry about that. I didn't think it would take this long.
gpt
It's just frustrating when I have dinner ready for us and then end up eating alone.
human
I understand and I'm sorry. It won't happen again.
gpt
I hope not. This isn't the first time it's happened.
human
You're right and I apologize. I'll make sure to communicate better in the future.
gpt
Thank you. It's important to me that we have time to spend together.
human
I know, and I value our time together too. Let's sit down and have dinner now.
gpt
Okay, but can we talk about some other things too? Like how we can make more time for each other during the week?
human
Sure, that sounds like a good idea. It's been a busy couple of weeks for us both, but we should make an effort to prioritize our time together.
gpt
I agree. Maybe we can plan a date night once a week where we can do something fun together.
human
That's a great idea. We can also try to have dinner together more often too. I'll try to get home earlier.
gpt
Thank you. I just want to make sure that we don't get too caught up in our busy lives and start to drift apart.
human
I understand, Julie. I love you and I want to make sure we stay connected.
gpt
I love you too. Let's make an effort to stay connected and make more time for each other. 
human
Definitely, let's work on that together.
