human
I've made a decision, nobody is allowed to talk to me without my permission from now on.
gpt
What do you mean? You don't want to talk to anyone?
human
I just need some space. I need to focus on my work without any distractions.
gpt
But what about our kids? They may need to talk to you about something important.
human
They can talk to me, but only when I'm not in the middle of work. They have to wait until I give them permission to talk.
gpt
I don't think that's a fair rule. It's important to have open communication with our family.
human
I understand your concern, but this is something I need to do for myself. I promise it won't be forever.
gpt
Okay, but I hope you'll reconsider this rule soon. It's important for us to be able to talk to each other when we need to.
human
I'll keep that in mind. And in the meantime, please respect my decision.

Speaking of communication, have you talked to your boss about that promotion you were interested in?
human
Not yet, I'm still trying to prepare myself for the meeting. But I appreciate you asking.
