The husband apologizes for his wife's upset reaction to Julie's lateness due to work schedules and the wife expresses desire to prioritize their time together. They discuss the importance of work-life balance and discuss scheduling couples therapy together.
human
Hey Julie, what's going on? Why do you look upset?
gpt
You tell me. You came back home late again, and only set one place at the table. Were you planning on eating alone?
human
Oh, I'm sorry about that. Work was just really busy today. I didn't mean to upset you.
gpt
It just feels like you're not prioritizing our time together. We hardly see each other during the day, and when you come home late like this, it feels like we're growing further apart.
human
I know, and I'm sorry about that. But I also feel like I need to focus on my job and making sure we're financially secure.
gpt
I understand that, but I also think it's important for us to have a healthy work-life balance. Maybe we can try to find some time during the week where we can focus solely on each other and our relationship.
human
That's a good idea. Maybe we can try to plan a date night or something.
gpt
Yes, that sounds great. And in the meantime, can you try to make it home for dinner more often?
human
Of course. I'll do my best to prioritize our time together and make it up to you.
gpt
Speaking of our relationship, have you had a chance to look into that couples therapy I mentioned a while ago?
human
Not yet, but I promise I will. It's just been difficult to find the time to do it.
gpt
I understand, but I think it would really benefit us to talk to a professional about our communication and any underlying issues.
human
I agree. Let's try to schedule an appointment for next week.
gpt
Alright, that's a step in the right direction. I just want us to be happy and fulfilled in our marriage.
human
Me too, Julie. And I appreciate you being patient with me. Let's work on this together.
