I want to talk to you about something that has been bothering me for a long time.
gpt
Of course, what's on your mind?
human
I feel like I have been suppressing my own desires and dreams to make you happy and build our life together.
gpt
What do you mean?
human
Well, I've always wanted to travel and explore more of the world, but you've always been content with staying at home. And when it comes to the business, I've been putting all my energy into expanding it to make you happy, but I feel like my own personal growth has been put on the back burner.
gpt
I had no idea you felt that way. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hold you back.
human
I know you didn't, but I need to start putting my own needs first. I want to take some time off from the business to travel and explore, and maybe even start my own venture.
gpt
I support you in whatever you choose to do, but what does that mean for us as a couple?
human
It means that we need to start figuring out what we individually want and need from life, and then find a way to make it work together. I don't want to lose our relationship, but I also don't want to lose my own identity either.
gpt
I understand, and I'm willing to work with you on finding a balance that works for both of us.
human
Thank you, that means a lot to me. I just needed to finally speak up and put my own needs first.
gpt
I'm glad you did. We can work through this together.
