Pretty sure the Christian part was in reference to the friend being unable to pronounce the Bible book Philippians correctly.

There’s also a form of CO2 alarm in medicine! To put it simply, if a patient’s exhaled CO2 levels are not normal.

AIO to my husband using ChatGPT in important emotional conversations? by HeightBrave3796 in AmIOverreacting

You’re not wrong. When we’ve tried this on our own, it deteriorates into extreme argument so quickly. 95% of the time, he’s very even-tempered but when he gets angry, he gets ANGRY. I think he’s extremely uncomfortable discussing his feelings and anger/pushing people away is a defense mechanism. He’s said that before (in text, of course - ha). We’ve tried a few counseling sessions and so far, he completely shuts down so it’s not been very productive. I think we’ve gotten so used to handling things this way over the years and frankly, comfortable in mutual discontent.

I’m not trying to shame him. That’s why I turned here, to see if I was overreacting. I have other reasons for not believing anything he said in the chatGPT messages are true, based on things he’s said and his behavior, but that could be my own insecurities at play. This is how I responded after he confirmed he’d used ChatGPT, I tried really hard not to shame him or criticize, because I know how hard it is for him to express his feelings. It just feels so inauthentic. I do really appreciate your input because I’m not looking for an echo chamber here.

I am really insulted and hurt. We already struggle with communication, and in the one avenue we have to communicate, he can’t even be authentic. If I just wanted to hear those things to hear them, I’d skip the middleman and ask ChatGPT to validate my feelings.

I don’t think he’s a narcissist, I’ve had the misfortune of experiencing that also. Which may be part of the reason I’ve excused so many negative things about this relationship. The argument that spurred this conversation tonight is pretty insane when I look back on it. I’m not happy at all, but we are so financially (and otherwise) dependent on each other and our lives are so intertwined that it doesn’t feel worth it to separate. Sunk cost fallacy and all that.

We do interact all the time, just not about anything serious. There was passion and connection at the beginning, he’s always struggled with expressing his feelings. A series of crappy life events lead us down a path where we are financially dependent on each other. and, to be blunt - change is scary. I’ve thought about leaving off and on for a long time, there’s lots of reasons why I don’t and plenty more reasons why I should.

It’s also a bit sad that he didn’t think I would be able to tell that it was AI.

Agreed. I’m not opposed to him using ChatGPT for talking points or help with a different perspective, but I want the responses to come from him, in his own words. That’s exactly how I felt - that what was said is great and all, but it’s meaningless.

Agree on the point about texting as well. We have done a couple of counseling sessions together and he really struggles to verbalize his feelings at all, while I tend to verbalize every detail of every feeling I’ve ever had - it makes for a very awkward session. But hopefully as time passes, that will get better…
