For partners — AI & Relationships
Maybe they reach for a chatbot before they reach for you. Maybe an AI companion has quietly become the one they tell things first. The worry is real, and you're allowed to feel it. But before it turns into an ultimatum, it helps to look closely at the one sentence you keep coming back to.

Anything you write is never used to train AI, and not retained beyond what the law requires.

01 — The worry
"Addicted" is a heavy word, and sometimes it fits and sometimes it doesn't. Either way, what you're feeling is worth taking seriously. Most people who land here recognize at least one of these.
They turn to a chatbot for comfort, advice, or company — and you've started to feel like you're competing with something that never sleeps.
There's an intimacy in how they talk to it. No one touched anyone, and still something feels crossed. You don't have a clean word for it yet.
You bring it up, they get defensive, and it ends in an argument or in silence. The topic itself has become the thing you can't talk about.
02 — Before the ultimatum
When a thought hurts, the mind hands you a hard, certain sentence — "My partner is addicted," "I'm being replaced." The Work, a method from Byron Katie, takes that one sentence and turns it around four ways. Not to prove you wrong, but to find the room around it before you act on it.

03 — Who reads your words
The free reflection is yours to keep, and many people never need anything more. If you want a person to read it, that person is me. I hold an MSc in Psychosocial Counseling from Sigmund Freud University in Vienna, and I work with individuals and couples navigating AI-related tension.
One email, €99, no subscription, a reply within 24 hours. A licensed human signs every reply — not a chatbot. My approach is about communication and what's underneath the conflict, never judgment about how anyone uses technology.
Often the AI isn't the core issue. The point of a session is to find the real question underneath it, and to give you language for the conversation you've been avoiding.
Whatever brought you here, the worry deserves a proper space. Looking hard at a painful thought, instead of acting on it straight away, is difficult — and worth it.
