human
Can I tell you something?
gpt
Of course.
human
I almost lied to you earlier when you asked if I went to lunch with my ex-girlfriend, but then I decided to tell you the truth.
gpt
What? When were you going to tell me?
human
I was going to tell you eventually, but I wanted to figure out how to say it first. I didn't want you to get upset.
gpt
Why didn't you want to tell me? Did anything happen?
human
No, nothing happened. We just caught up over lunch. But I know how you feel about her, and I didn't want you to get jealous or anything.
gpt
Thank you for telling me. It means a lot that you were honest.
human
Yeah, after I decided to tell you the truth, it made me feel powerful and in control. Like no matter what happens, I can handle it if I'm honest.
gpt
I'm glad telling the truth makes you feel that way. It's important to be honest with each other.
human
Remember when I felt terrible for missing your surprise party because of my exams?
gpt
Yes, I do.
human
That day I learned that honesty is always the best policy. If I had been honest about not being able to come, then we could have avoided feeling guilty about it later.
gpt
Exactly. It's always better to be honest than to hide something from each other.
human
I'm just glad I have you to be honest with. It makes things so much easier." 
gpt
I feel the same way. We can handle anything together as long as we're honest with each other.
