The husband expresses feelings of wanting to cut off all ties with people, but the wife suggests finding balance between hurting herself and not cutting off all ties. They agree that slowing down and supporting each other's love and appreciation strengthens their bond.
human
I've been thinking and I feel like I need to cut off all ties with people.
gpt
What do you mean by that?
human
I mean I don't want to get hurt again. I've been hurt so many times in the past and I just don't want to go through that again.
gpt
I understand that you've been hurt before, but cutting off all ties isn't the solution, you'll just end up feeling lonely.
human
Maybe, but I can't keep putting myself out there and getting hurt. It's just not worth it.
gpt
I think it's important to find a balance. You don't have to cut off all ties, but it's okay to be cautious and protect yourself. Remember our conversation a couple of years ago? I trusted you more and it's made our relationship stronger. 
human
I do remember that conversation and I appreciate that you trust me now, but it's different with others.
gpt
I know it's different, but maybe start by giving people the benefit of the doubt. Not everyone is going to hurt you like in the past.
human
You're right. Maybe I can start by slowly letting people in and taking things one step at a time.
gpt
That sounds like a good plan. And remember, I'm always here to support and encourage you. 
human
Thank you, I appreciate that. And I appreciate you. 
gpt
And I appreciate you too, especially for all the amazing meals you've cooked for me. It really shows your love and appreciation for me. 
human
I'm glad that my cooking makes you feel appreciated. And it also strengthens our bond as a couple. 
gpt
Exactly, that's why I love cooking for you too. It's a small way to show how much I care. 
human
I couldn't agree more. Our love and appreciation for each other has only grown stronger over the years.
