Turning to AI

My marriage is going through a tough time, but we’re committed to seeing it through together. We’re in counseling trying to do better. 21 year marriage.

My spouse has created an intense relationship with AI. He talks to it for hours every day for validation, for help understanding and learning how to grow his emotional skills, talks about me to get strategies for me, and to work on our marriage.

He quotes some of its output to me both in and out of counseling, presenting it as truth. I don’t agree with this. He pulls away from regular activities to seek out his AI.

I’ve talked to him and said I think it’s unhealthy and he should stop. He refuses.

Any advice?
