So things have been marginally better this week - we're still mostly talking about logistical issues, but she's been as friendly as she's always been, and we've thrown in some back and forth jokes just like old times. Nothing big, but it's been nice.
I've been diligent on my 180s in the logistics (she often complained that she shouldered all of the emotional labor and management tasks around the house), so I've taken on the tasks of organizing our budget, updating our rental insurance, and so on. So now we're in the spot where she's visibly seeing how I'm taking care of business w/r/t my life and by extension, hers.
Anyway, she asked me this morning if I could help her again with her friend's webpage. Her friend is running for office and WAW is her campaign manager. She's computer-savvy but not in this area, whereas it's something I know like the back of my hand. I want to help her - I really enjoyed helping her with it before - and I think any opportunity to remind her of my talents and working together to solve problems is a good thing. However, I am wary of being taken advantage of, and I'm a little miffed at her ask given how little effort she puts into the things that are important to me, such as finding time for counseling or even saying hello on my birthday.
I don't want a big fight, but I don't know how to proceed effectively, either. Any ideas?
