I think this is an interesting MLC topic: the line between building a friendship and enabling cake eating.

Yes, we should only do the things we want to do. However, the problem to me, is that my MLCer often expects me to do things that no friend would normally expect of me. Christmas shopping is one example. My h expected me to do his Christmas shopping for him. Yes, this would probably make him feel more friendly toward me. But would any of my friend's ask this of me?!? Uh - that would be a resounding no!!

MLC comes with a heavy ladle, overspilling with entitlement.
