I can be the lighthouse but not the tugboat

[daring]

Quick update- MLC land has been calmer in the last day or so ( I'll take what I can get).
H stayed home yesterday with D13 since she was sick and they had some good quality time together. He also watched the kids last night as I had a work dinner.

Yesterday when I got home he could tell I wasn't feeling well ( looks like my virus has gone into pneumonia- uggh). He asked if I needed anything and said make sure you rest.
He checked in on me this morning before taking the kids to school as I was having coughing fits and he wanted to be sure I would get evaluated by my own doc today.
I did go in to be seen with the result presumed pneumonia. He had asked if I would be home in evening with kids as he needed to run errands. I texted him to say I would be home as I was leaving work early to pick up meds and rest.
He immediately texted- how can I help?
I asked him to just pick up kids as planned and if he had time to pick up dog food.
After running errands he came back by and took kids to get them things they needed for school and packed S8s lunch. He was really really helpful.
He kept checking on me to see if I needed anything. He really seemed like he wanted to help. Right before leaving for the night he asked again and said " are you sure? How about tea with honey?" I said that did sound good so he made it for me. Then headed out for the night.

I don't know if this is guilt or part of the dance but it seems pretty genuine. I'm appreciative and make sure I let him know how helpful he is being but don't ask for anything more.
