Ah...ok makes sense. If you feel like the request was reasonable then I understand. Did it initially upset you though when you got the request? I am only going deeper because I remember feeling similar ways with my EW before when I would come inside from mowing the yard, all hot an sweaty. It was never here honey, let me get you a drink of water...it was always wash hands, put your clothes in the washer, take your shoes off, etc. I felt like I never got any recognition for 1.5 hours I was out there busting my butt. I know it kind of touches on the love languages but if her initial question got to you I just would hate for you to gloss over it, apologize, but deep down inside you are wanting something more or different.
