Lying and cheating are obvious relationship dealbreakers.<\/p>\n

But finding out that your partner confided in ChatGPT<\/a> about relationship doubts? The romantic metrics are murkier.<\/p>\n

For Lindsey Hall<\/a>, a public relations professional who pens a Substack titled \u201cLindsey Hall Writes\u201d<\/a> \u2014 and wrote the recent essay \u201cI Stumbled Upon My Boyfriend\u2019s ChatGPT and It Ended Our Relationship\u201d<\/a> \u2014 this question came up when she accidentally came across her now ex-boyfriend\u2019s ChatGPT history.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

In the ChatGPT thread, a devastated writer found that her boyfriend was not being honest about his feelings toward her. Yuliia \u2013 stock.adobe.com<\/p>\n

She recalled borrowing his laptop \u2014 as he sat beside her on his couch, sleeping \u2014 in order to respond to a client after her phone had died. On it, she found a modern-day girlfriend\u2019s nightmare \u2014 a ChatGPT chat<\/a> titled \u201cRelationship Issues and Uncertainty.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the post, Hall recalled that she \u201cstared at the words,\u201d instantly wishing she had \u201cnever read what I did.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNow, here is where I am certain many will piously tell me I dug my own grave,\u201d Hall wrote. \u201cI invaded his privacy. That I never should\u2019ve read what I read. That the man is allowed to share private thoughts with a robot he never intended for me to see.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd of course all that is true,\u201d she continued. \u201cBut I dare you to come across your partner\u2019s ChatGPT, read those words, and not unravel all moral senses.\u201d<\/p>\n

While Hall wrote that she\u2019d initially bristled \u2014 assuming that the focus would be on the chaos of her three cats, about which her ex had never been a huge fan \u2014 she froze when her eyes quickly landed on the final line of the AI bot<\/a>\u2019s analysis: \u201cFrom what you\u2019re sharing, you should consider ending the relationship.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the thread, Hall\u2019s boyfriend had posed a series of concerns to his robot (named Freud), kicking off with the question, \u201cShould I be in love after 3.5 months?\u201d He followed with doubts about Hall\u2019s lifestyle, sensitive nature, eating disorder history, and online writing, with the trio of cats eventually making their own appearance in the chat.<\/p>\n

But to Hall, the kicker was his phrase, \u201cAnd then there\u2019s the whole attraction thing.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cLook, it\u2019s not that I think I\u2019m a dime \u2014 I\u2019m a realistic lady \u2014 but this man\u2019s entire love language was rooted in physical affection,\u201d Hall wrote. \u201cIt was quite literally the only type of love I felt certain from him \u2026I reread it over and over because I genuinely could not make my brain process.\u201d<\/p>\n

But what \u201cfloored\u201d Hall the most was that next to all the cons, there was no \u201cpro\u201d list.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the privacy of his own thoughts, I was not being held in the warm and forgiving light I had imagined \u2026Then I read the line that I think I will probably remember to my grave: \u2018I\u2019m just not proud of her.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

Hall, pictured here with one of her three cats that caused some contention, hopes but does not necessarily expect her readers to give her grace for the invasion of privacy. Lindsey Hall \/ Substack<\/p>\n

In the post, which to date has over 22,000 \u201clikes\u201d and topped 2,000 comments, Hall admitted that after uncovering that first AI conversation thread, she found \u2014 and read \u2014 \u201chandfuls\u201d more. Still shell-shocked, she slid out from underneath his embrace on the couch, gathered her things, and left as he remained there, snoozing.<\/p>\n

Eventually, after a frantic barrage of texts from her ex asking what had happened \u2014 leading to his arrival at her house a half-hour later \u2014 she spit out her discovery: \u201c\u2018I read everything \u2026 I read your whole f\u2013king ChatGPT.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

Hall recalled that her \u201cstricken\u201d boyfriend, whom she clarifies to her readers was \u201ca strong man, a brilliant one too,\u201d looked \u201chorrified\u201d and \u201cinstantly ashamed.\u201d<\/p>\n

While the pair attempted to talk out the debacle \u2014 which involved countless tears and apologies from the boyfriend, with frantic explanations that his confiding in AI was due to relationship anxiety and that he was still attracted to her \u2014 the damage was done.<\/p>\n

While Hall and her partner continued dating for a few months afterward, the relationship eventually ended.<\/p>\n

Now that an unspecified amount of time has passed, she reflected on the incident \u2014 even sharing that she does \u201cforgive\u201d him.<\/p>\n

She hopes \u2014 but does not necessarily expect \u2014 that her readers will give her the same grace in return for the invasion of privacy.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t come away from this believing he was a villain, or even that he wronged me in some exceptional way,\u201d Hall concludes. \u201cIf anything, what made it so painful was how ordinary it was. We all have private thoughts that we would never want subpoenaed \u2026 The problem was that I saw (his doubts) in their raw form, stripped of tact and timing and love\u2019s softening language.\u201d<\/p>\n
