Sounds very reasonable then. I'd probably just make a point not to ask for favors then. If he offers to help with stuff, then yeah, but if you tell him you need space, just make sure you don't send conflicting signals. It totally makes sense to me. I wish I was strong enough to do it myself. But I'm still pathetic and look forward to seeing him the brief time he is here.
