The husband apologizes to his wife for not listening to her husband's son, but she expresses concern about her ex-girlfriend's absence from the store. They discuss the husband's lack of communication skills, including not reaching out to him often enough, starting a family budget together, and agreeing to work together to change that.

What's wrong? Why don't you want to hear what I have to say?
gpt
It's just that I have something else I need to tell you, and I don't want to get distracted by what you're saying.
human
Okay, what is it?
gpt
I saw your son at the store today.
human
My son? Which one?
gpt
The one you had with your ex-girlfriend.
human
Oh. Okay. What was he doing at the store?
gpt
He was working there. He saw me too and came over to say hi.
human
That's good. Did he say anything about me?
gpt
No, he didn't mention you. But he seemed like a nice kid.
human
Yeah, he is. I wish I could see him more often.
gpt
Why don't you try to reach out to him?
human
I don't know. His mother doesn't want me to. And I haven't been the best father to him, to be honest.
gpt
Well, maybe it's time to change that. You could start by being more responsible and finding a new job. We could start a family budget and work on sticking to it.
human
You're right. I need to step up and be a better father. And a better husband too.
gpt
I'm here to support you, and I know you can do it. We can work on this together.
human
Thank you, sweetheart. I really appreciate it.
