W still wants separation, need to DB more

[OfficerInNeed]

i'm not your wife. But if I was sick with something chronic like terrible allergies that turn into asthma attacks, I would be grateful to the person who was helpful and nice to me even though I was a snorting, choking, nose-blowing mess. But that's me.

I am not sure if my W is so resentful toward me she is overlooking or simply not acknowledging my helpfulness nor does she have to for me to continue to do so.

I have done my best to take care of her the past week (and still counting) without crossing that thin line of pursuit. There were so many times I wanted to rub her back as she sat up in bed coughing her head off but I held back not knowing how she would react. All the things I have done in the past week since she has been ill is nothing new. Each time she has experienced such an illness I took well care of her, even more than I am now but that is due to I don't want to pressure her. I am just trying to give her space but at the same time fulfill any of her needs.
