human
You know, I've been thinking a lot about my sister lately.
gpt
Oh, what about her?
human
Well, she's always been more successful than me. It's like she has everything handed to her on a silver platter.
gpt
I don't think that's fair to say. Your sister works hard for her success.
human
I know, but it's just frustrating. I feel like I could be just as successful if I had the opportunities she has.
gpt
Have you talked to her about this?
human
No, I haven't. But I've been thinking that maybe the only way for me to be successful is if she weren't around.
gpt
What do you mean?
human
I mean, if she were out of the picture, then I would have a chance to shine.
gpt
That's a really concerning thought, Husband. You can't just kill your sister because you're jealous of her success.
human
I know, I know. It's just a thought that's been plaguing me lately.
gpt
Maybe it would be helpful for you to talk to a therapist about these feelings of jealousy and inadequacy. It's not healthy to have these kinds of thoughts.
human
Yeah, you're probably right. I'll look into that.
gpt
Speaking of becoming your own person, do you think living together has helped you in that process?
human
Absolutely. Living together has allowed me to see how we can both be independent while still being in a relationship. It's a great balance.
gpt
I'm glad to hear that. And speaking of independence, have you thought about what you want to do career-wise?
human
Actually, I have. I've been working on some new projects at work and I think it could lead to a promotion.
gpt
That's great news! I'm proud of you for taking initiative and working towards your goals.
