Zephyr, he actually doesn't "volunteer" often. Mostly just at night if I'm going for a snack. I frequently ask him to do me a favor though and he does. I need to cut that out. Hit me with a 2x4 because I really need to stop asking. Never seems to bug him, but a) it's not being detached and b) it's not giving him the space.
I will make sure to think about when he asks if he can do something for me. Have you ever felt like you couldn't take care of your own needs because of caring too much for your W? As that was his concern at the BD, I thought maybe I shouldn't accept offers of help from him.
It's so hard navigating this!
