The husband apologizes for throwing a tantrum but admits feeling scared and lost control of the situation. The wife suggests working on his coping mechanisms together and suggests revisiting past mistakes and using tools learned in the past to stay calm in tough situations.
human
I'm sorry for throwing a tantrum the other day. I don't know what came over me.
gpt
It's okay, but you really scared me. What happened to make you act that way?
human
I don't know, I just felt like I wasn't in control of the situation. I wanted things to go my way and when they didn't, I lost it.
gpt
We can't always control everything, you know that. But we can control how we react to situations. Maybe we need to work on your coping mechanisms.
human
Yeah, you're right. I shouldn't have acted that way. I'll work on controlling my emotions better.
gpt
That's a good start. We can work on it together. Remember when we talked about improving our communication? Maybe that's something we can revisit.
human
Absolutely. Maybe talking through what's bothering me instead of throwing a tantrum will help me feel more in control.
gpt
I think that's a great idea. And if you ever feel like you're going to lose control, maybe take a step back and take some deep breaths or drink some water.
human
That's a good point. I remember how drinking water helped me feel more confident before my meetings. Maybe it can help me stay calm in tough situations too.
gpt
Exactly. We can use the tools we've learned in the past to help us moving forward. Let's work on this together.
