human
I need to talk to you about something that's been bothering me.
gpt
Okay, what's going on?
human
Well, I hate to say this, but I've been feeling embarrassed about being seen with you lately.
gpt
What? Why?
human
I think you're kind of weird, to be honest. It's not just me, either. I've overheard some of the guys at work making fun of you.
gpt
I don't understand. What's so weird about me?
human
It's hard to explain. It's just the way you act sometimes. The things you say and do. I think people are starting to talk.
gpt
I'm sorry you feel that way, but I don't think I'm doing anything wrong.
human
I know you don't, but I can't help how I feel. I just wish you could try to be more normal.
gpt
What does that even mean? I'm just being myself.
human
I know, but sometimes it's hard for me to be around you when people are looking.
gpt
That's really hurtful, Husband. I thought you loved me for who I am, not for how I act or look.
human
Of course I do. I just don't want people to judge me based on my association with you.
gpt
So you're saying that you're ashamed to be seen with me?
human
No, that's not what I meant. I just wish you could tone it down a little bit.
gpt
I don't think that's fair. I'm not going to change myself just to make other people happy.
human
I understand that, but can't you at least try to fit in a little better? It would make things so much easier for both of us.
gpt
I don't want to change who I am just so you can feel better about how you look to other people. I thought we were in this together, Husband.
human
We are, but I just wish you could see things from my perspective.
gpt
I do see things from your perspective, but I also think that you're being unfair to me. Can we try to find a way to meet in the middle? Maybe I can try to be more aware of my behavior in certain situations, but I'm not going to change who I am completely.
human
I guess that's a start. I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings, Wife. I do love you for who you are.
