It's more about her attitude. ie. if she wants my support then appreciate it and if she doesn't want my support then that's OK. I just didn't appreciate the whole "i have to do this" tone in her voice. I get that having to rely on me when she doesn't want to is a burden that she doesn't want. I shouldn't have to be made to feel that I am a burden though. We either work together or we don't. It's about respect.

As it is, she expressed some thoughts to me after she went to bed and I validated. She felt that I was "in a mood" and made her feel as though giving her the expenses I had was a chore of sorts. I sat on it for a while and decided to express my feelings in return and by then she had fallen asleep. She'll see what I've had to say this morning. I've reviewed what I've said and I feel good about it. I've basically said that I'm there for her but she's shown that she doesn't need me and she has options other than me. I've also said to show me some respect if she does use my support.
