The husband confesses to his wife that he keeps people at arm's length due to past relationships. He blames it on fear of trusting someone new after hurting someone deeply but realizes that it's easier said than done to open up to someone new after hurting. The wife encourages him to take things slow and heal, reminding him that love is for each other and that partners are for each other through tough times and good times.

You know, I realized something about myself recently.
gpt
What's that?
human
I tend to keep people at arm's length. I don't let anyone get too close to me.
gpt
Why do you think that is?
human
I think it has to do with my past relationships. I loved someone deeply once, but it ended so badly that I never want to go through that pain again.
gpt
I understand. It's hard to open up to someone new when you've been hurt before.
human
Exactly. It's like I'm afraid to trust anyone again.
gpt
But you can't let that fear control your life. You deserve to be happy and find love again.
human
I know, but it's easier said than done.
gpt
Maybe you just need to take things slow and give yourself time to heal.
human
Maybe you're right. It's just hard when you've been hurt so badly in the past.
gpt
I know, but I believe in you. You're strong and resilient. You'll find love again when you're ready.
human
Thank you. Your support means a lot to me.
gpt
Of course. That's what partners are for, to help each other through the tough times and the good times.
