The husband and wife discuss their differences and agree to work out their issues on their own, but the wife feels uncomfortable with the idea of having to compromise. They agree to discuss the issue together next week and agree to work towards a compromise that works for them both.

I just don't see why Luke has to be involved in our relationship. We can work out our issues on our own.
gpt
But that's the problem, we can't seem to work out our issues on our own. Maybe we need a third party to help us see things from a different perspective.
human
I get that, but I don't agree with some of the changes he's proposing. It's not fair that I'm expected to do all the compromising.
gpt
But compromise goes both ways. I've already agreed to some of the changes he's proposed, but you haven't budged at all.
human
That's because I don't see why I should have to change something that's been working for us all this time. Why fix what's not broken?
gpt
But it's not working for me. I feel like I'm always the one making concessions and you're not willing to meet me halfway. And I don't just want a relationship where everything revolves around you.
human
I never said that it had to be that way. Of course, your input is important to me.
gpt
Then why won't you consider the changes that I think are necessary for us to have a more equal partnership?
human
I just need more time to think about it. I'm not saying I'm not open to change, but I don't want to make any hasty decisions without really thinking them through.
gpt
Okay, but can we set a deadline for when we need to make a decision about this? I don't want this issue to keep dragging on indefinitely.
human
Sure, that sounds reasonable. Let's aim to make a decision by the end of next week. And in the meantime, we can continue to discuss things and try to reach a compromise that works for both of us.
gpt
Okay, that's a start. I just want us to work on this together and come to a solution that we're both comfortable with.
human
Same here. I think if we're both willing to listen to each other and be open to change, we can make this work.
