The husband is struggling with a math problem and feels nervous and incompetent around his wife's teacher. The wife encourages him to ask for help together and reminds him that everyone needs help at some point.
human
I've been really struggling with this problem in my math class. I just can't seem to figure it out.
gpt
Have you tried asking your teacher for help?
human
Yeah, but I still don't get it.
gpt
Well, have you considered asking me for help?
human
I don't want you to think I'm stupid.
gpt
Of course I don't think that. I'm your wife and I'm here to support you. If you need help, all you have to do is ask.
human
I know, but I just feel so nervous and unsure of myself around you.
gpt
Why is that?
human
I don't know. Sometimes I feel like you're so much smarter than me and I don't want to disappoint you.
gpt
Husband, that's not true at all. We all have our areas of strength and weakness. Plus, if you ask me for help and we figure it out together, that's a win for both of us.
human
You're right. I guess I just need to get over this fear of looking incompetent.
gpt
Everyone needs help at some point. It's not a sign of weakness, it's a sign of being human. And remember, in the past we've talked about how important it is to ask for help when you need it. Like when you were struggling with drugs in high school.
human
Yeah, that's true. You were there for me and supported me through that tough time.
gpt
And I always will be. So don't be afraid to ask for help, okay?
human
Okay. Thanks, Wife. I really appreciate it.
