AI Friend
When your partner has an “AI friend” or digital companion, you can end up feeling confused, dismissed, and deeply lonely in your own home. However, they may call it harmless technology. For example, they might compare it to a journal or a productivity app. As a result, you may wonder whether your hurt is even justified.
In this episode, we unpack the psychology of modern digital intimacy. Specifically, we cover the clinical line between a harmless tool and an emotional substitute. In addition, we look at three warning signs that intimacy is being displaced. We also explain why avoidant partners are drawn to simulated connection. Finally, we share a step-by-step way to raise the topic with your partner without putting them on the defensive.
You shouldn’t have to compete with code for your partner’s presence.
