Honey, I need to talk to you about something important.
gpt
Sure, what is it?
human
I stumbled upon your medical file last night while I was looking for something else, and I saw that you were born with a heart defect. Why didn't you tell me about this earlier?
gpt
Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't think it was a big deal. Yes, I was born with a heart defect and I have had two open-heart surgeries. But don't worry, I take medication every day to make sure my heart is functioning properly.
human
Of course it's a big deal! I'm your husband, and I need to know about any health complications you have. What if something happens to you and I didn't know about your condition?
gpt
I understand, and I'm sorry for not telling you earlier. It's just that I don't like being treated any differently because of my health. I want to be seen as any other person.
human
I understand that, but hiding it from me won't change the fact that it's there. We're in this together, and I want to support you in any way I can. Can you tell me more about your condition, so I can understand it better?
gpt
Sure, I have a congenital heart defect, and my heart has a hole between the two upper chambers. It causes me shortness of breath and other issues. I've had two open-heart surgeries to repair the valve and the hole. But my doctors have assured me that with medication and regular check-ups, I can still live a healthy life.
human
Thank you for telling me all this. You're not alone in this, I'm here for you. We'll make sure to take all the necessary precautions to keep you healthy.

Thank you, dear. I appreciate your support.
