The husband apologizes for knocking down his partner and defends himself, but the wife insists that violence is never the answer. They discuss the importance of self-control and finding healthier ways to deal with anger.
human
I can't believe I knocked him down like that. It felt good to finally stand up for myself.
gpt
But babe, violence is never the answer. You could have seriously hurt him.
human
He had it coming. He was talking smack about me and I had to defend myself.
gpt
I understand that, but physical violence is never the solution. You could have handled it differently.
human
How would you have handled it then?
gpt
I would have tried to defuse the situation with words or walked away. Violence only leads to more violence.
human
I see your point, but in the heat of the moment, it's hard to control your emotions.
gpt
That's why it's important to practice self-control and find healthier ways to deal with your anger. Remember when we talked about how you were feeling angry and frustrated after your argument with your parents?
human
Yeah, I remember.
gpt
You were able to recognize your emotions and talk to me about it instead of lashing out. That's a much better way to handle things.
human
You're right. I need to work on controlling my emotions and finding better ways to deal with conflict.
gpt
I'm here to support you and we can work on it together. Violence is never the answer.
