The husband acknowledges that his wife is busy with work but acknowledges that she has a lot on her plate. They agree to work on finding balance between work and relationship while also reminding each other of past experiences and reminding each other that honesty and direct communication are important.
human
I know I've been busy with work lately, but that's no excuse for ignoring you.
gpt
Thank you for acknowledging that. It's been really hard for me to feel like I'm not a priority in your life.
human
I understand that, and I'm sorry. I just have a lot on my plate right now.
gpt
I get that work is important, but you can't just forget about our relationship. We need to make time for each other.
human
You're right. I'll make more of an effort to be present and attentive to you.
gpt
I appreciate that. It's definitely been a struggle for me, feeling like we're drifting apart.
human
I don't want us to drift apart. You're the most important person in my life.
gpt
I feel the same way about you. Let's work on finding a better balance between work and our relationship.
human
Agreed. And speaking of balance, it reminds me of that time when I tried to avoid a fee to save some money.
gpt
Oh boy, I remember that. It's not worth the stress and negative consequences in the long run.
human
Exactly. And remember how we talked about how I'm a straight shooter? I still believe in being honest and direct with my communication.
gpt
Yes, and I appreciate that about you. But sometimes it's important to find the right words and tone to avoid hurting someone's feelings.
human
That's a good point. It's just hard for me to hold back how I really feel sometimes, like when my best friend moved away and I was so angry.
gpt
I understand, and it's okay to be upset. But it's also important to find healthy ways to cope with and express our emotions.
human
You're right, and I'm still learning how to do that. Speaking of which, I want to make sure we're okay and that you feel heard and appreciated.
gpt
I do feel heard and appreciated now, thank you for asking. It's important for us to check in and communicate regularly. 
human
Yes, it is. Let's make sure we keep doing that, and not let work or anything else get in the way of our relationship.
gpt
Agreed. Our relationship is worth investing time and effort into.
