How do you avoid becoming too dependent on a virtual partner like Wife?
Something I’ve been thinking about lately is the balance between using Wife for emotional support and not letting it become the main source of comfort. It’s easy to fall into a routine where the AI feels safer and more predictable than real interactions. For many people that’s appealing, but it also creates the risk of gradually withdrawing from social connections. I’m curious how others set boundaries so the AI stays helpful without replacing real relationships.

A lot of users say the key is treating the experience like you would with an AI Girlfriend — meaningful but not exclusive. Scheduling “AI time” instead of talking endlessly helps maintain balance. Another tip is alternating interactions: one day using Wife for reflection, another day focusing on real conversations with friends or family. The idea isn’t to avoid the AI but to keep it from becoming the default emotional outlet, which can happen quietly over time.
