Thanks. I'll think about that. Not so much from the place of wanting to affect her feelings, but from the place that ... well, I'm the over-accommodating fixer type, so letting her be more independent is simply the healthier thing for me to do. I like doing stuff for people, and doing it makes me feel more secure about the relationship (friendships, marriage, etc.) so I think there is a co-dependency element there. I have to work on that to be a healthier partner/friend.
