Hey all, I need some advice again. Been doing some thinking and really don't understand something. She still finds a reason to call or text me every day. After the slip up and the "your welcome/smiley emoji" from my post above, she called me, and an hour later I texted "you called?" She responded right away "yes, it was to ask you how to set up the TV to work on the wifi, but I fixed it myself" which I responded "so it's good now?" and she said "yes". That was last night.
Now earlier today she texted me saying "I want to go ahead with xxx job, do you think you could help me?" (referring to filing out some paperwork and getting a deal for cleaning crew insurance). I waited an hour and responded "Ok we'll talk about it later" and right away she said "ok". Two hours ago, she sent me a picture of the battery light on her car that came on (I'm a mechanic). I waited an hour and responded "probably the alternator, shouldn't drive it", she responded right away and said "(sad emoji) we are 30 min away (her and her mom working I believe), which I said "turn off the radio and take the side streets just in case" which she said "ok". I then got to thinking and felt bad and said "If you need help you can ask me ok" which got no response so far (5 minutes ago). I regret sending that last one.
Not answering the phone and waiting to respond are huge 180's for me. She knows I always have my phone on me for work (and when we were together I always answered right away).
Why does she always find some random thing to communicate with me about every day? Sometimes I want to block her and go dark, but I don't know if that will make things worse. We haven't argued at all recently. I don't want to be too nice or too available. It's a tough balance to know what should I really help her with? How do I know if I'm being used? Next time she asks for help, do I ignore her completely?
