Can you please keep your mouth shut for once?
gpt
Excuse me? What do you mean?
human
I mean that every time I share something with you, you immediately jump in and start telling me what I should do or how I should feel. I just want to have an honest conversation with my girlfriend about what's bothering me, but I can't do that if I feel controlled by you.
gpt
I understand that you want to have a conversation with your girlfriend, but why can't you talk to me about your problems too? Isn't that what marriage is?
human
Of course, but sometimes I need to talk to someone who is outside of the situation. And when I do, I don't want to feel like I'm being judged or told what to do.
gpt
I see. I guess I can give you space when you need to talk to someone else. But can we also talk about this issue we're having? It seems like something is bothering you about our communication.
human
Yeah, I just feel like sometimes you don't listen to me and you immediately try to solve my problems instead of just being there for me.
gpt
I'm sorry if it comes across that way. I just want to help you in any way I can.
human
I know you do, and I appreciate that. But sometimes I just need to vent or talk things out without feeling like there's a solution I need to follow.
gpt
Okay, I understand. Is there anything else you want to talk about?
human
No, I think that covers everything for now. Thanks for understanding.
