The husband hurt his wife when she left him behind, but she gave him space to figure things out before walking away. She realized she needed space but realized she needed to find balance and work on finding balance. They agreed to work on honesty and understanding each other's needs.

I know I hurt you when I walked away, but I just needed some space.
gpt
And I gave you that space. I stopped calling and texting. I thought you would come back when you were ready.
human
But even before I walked away, I told you that I needed some space. I couldn't handle your constant need for attention and affection.
gpt
I just love you so much. I didn't mean to smother you.
human
I understand that, but I needed some time to myself to figure things out. I needed to see if I could still be happy without you constantly by my side.
gpt
Did you find that happiness without me?
human
Actually, no. It made me realize how much I do need you in my life. But we need to work on finding a balance. You can't rely on me for all your happiness, and I can't feel suffocated by your constant need for attention.
gpt
I'm happy to hear that you realized you still need me. And I'm willing to work on finding that balance with you.
human
That's all I can ask for. We've been together for a long time, and I don't want to throw it all away because of a lack of communication. We need to be honest with each other and work through our issues.
gpt
I agree. Let's start fresh and try to be more understanding of each other's needs. 
human
Sounds like a plan. Let's work on being the best versions of ourselves for each other.
