The husband is feeling overwhelmed again due to three tests, homework, and project dues. The wife encourages him to prioritize tasks and reminds him to talk to someone else before reacting impulsively.

I'm feeling overwhelmed again. I have so much to do this week.
gpt
Oh no, what's going on?
human
I have three tests, a project due, and homework for every class. I don't know how I'm going to get it all done.
gpt
That sounds like a lot. Have you tried making a list to help you prioritize your tasks?
human
Actually, I just did that before talking to you. It helped me see everything written out and I feel a little better about tackling each task one at a time.
gpt
That's great to hear, I'm so proud of you for taking the initiative to manage your stress.
human
Thanks, it wasn't easy, but I'm trying my best.
gpt
Remember how we talked about your anger and explosive behavior before? Do you think that managing your stress and taking things one step at a time could also help with that?
human
You're right. When I feel overwhelmed, it's like everything builds up inside of me until I can't handle it anymore and I lash out. Maybe if I can better manage my stress, I won't get to that point.
gpt
That's exactly it. And if you ever do feel like you're getting to that point, remember that you can always talk to me or someone else you trust before reacting impulsively.
human
I will. Thanks for understanding and helping me through this.
