The husband expresses concern about back pain and complains about it hindering his daily activities. The wife suggests seeking help from someone else and reminds him of past experiences of missing out on each other's presence.

I don't know about this whole specialist thing. I feel like it's a waste of time and money.
gpt
But honey, you've been complaining about your back pain for weeks now. It's not getting any better and it's affecting your daily activities.
human
I know, but I just feel like it's not that serious and I don't want to bother a specialist with it.
gpt
It is serious if it's hindering your quality of life. And if it's something that can be fixed or improved, why not see someone who specializes in it?
human
I guess you have a point. It's just hard to admit that I might need someone else's help with this.
gpt
There's nothing wrong with seeking help. You were in the army, you know that there's a sense of strength in being able to recognize when you need assistance.
human
That's true. Okay, fine. I'll make an appointment with the specialist.
gpt
I'm proud of you. And don't worry, we'll figure this out together.
human
It reminds me of when I was deployed and missed you guys so much. Remember how happy I was when I found out I was coming home for a visit?
gpt
Of course I remember. It was the best surprise ever. And I'm so glad that you'll be home soon for good this time.
human
Me too. And I'm grateful that you're always here to support me, even when I'm stubborn about seeking help.

That's what spouses are for, right? To be there for each other through thick and thin.
