The husband broke his arm while fixing his roof, which caused him to feel helpless and awkward. The wife offered to help him temporarily, reminding him that it won't last forever.
human
I can't believe I broke my arm. It's so inconvenient.
gpt
Oh no, how did it happen?
human
I fell off a ladder while trying to fix the roof. I should have known better.
gpt
You should have been more careful. Do you need anything? I can help you with whatever you need.
human
Thanks, I appreciate it. It's just frustrating not being able to do things for myself. Remember when I smelled smoke a few years ago?
gpt
Yes, that was scary. Luckily it wasn't our house.
human
Yeah, but that feeling of helplessness is similar to how I feel now. I can't even tie my own shoes.
gpt
Don't worry, I'm here to help. It's only temporary and you'll be back to normal soon enough.
human
I know, but it's hard not being able to do things on my own. Remember when you hugged me out of the blue a while back?
gpt
Of course, why do you bring that up?
human
I felt awkward and didn't know how to respond. It's the same feeling I have now. I hate feeling like I'm dependent on others.
gpt
You're not dependent, you're just temporarily limited. Lean on me and let me help you. And remember, it won't last forever.
