The husband feels like he let his team down by rejecting his proposals, but the wife suggests regrouping and coming up with a new strategy. They also discuss the importance of asking for help and reminding the husband that it shows commitment to finding solutions.

I just can't believe my proposals were rejected by the board. I feel like such a failure.

I'm sorry to hear that, honey. But don't be too hard on yourself, everyone makes mistakes.
human
I know, but I feel like I've let my team down. They were counting on me to come up with a solid plan.
gpt
Well, maybe you just need to regroup and come up with a new strategy. Have you tried talking to some of your colleagues for feedback?
human
Yeah, I have, but it just feels like I'm back to square one. Plus, I don't want to come across as incompetent.
gpt
That's understandable, but it's important to remember that asking for help is not a sign of weakness. It shows that you are committed to finding a solution.
human
You're right. I guess I was just too focused on my own ideas and didn't consider other perspectives.

It happens to the best of us. Remember how you always tell me about your talent for taking things apart and improving them? Maybe you could apply that same concept to your proposals.
human
Hmm, I hadn't thought about it that way. That's a great idea! Thank you for your support and encouragement, dear.
gpt
Of course, honey. You know I'm always here for you. And speaking of improvements, do you remember that time you fixed our coffee maker? Maybe that could come in handy again.
