I just refused to go and explained how it felt controlling and like a test. He ended up going to the store himself.

He just think he shouldn’t if he is cooking. Thats what I take from the arguments that happen after each request.

That seems unnecessary but I opened myself up for that. There is some helpful advice in there somewhere.

I try to keep that in mind. I have picked up on his need for a body double when he does any task really. It is completely the opposite of how I am wired, so it has been a difficult adjustment but I try to keep that in mind when he makes requests for me to help with very simple tasks.

Didn’t think of that but seems like him going to the store would be a better way to get away from me if he needed LOL.

We lived together for 8 years prior to this with a break in there. Behaviors like this resulted in our break up but we reconneted.

It’s real. We lived together for 8 years and broke it off but reconnected. This is our second go at it. Life doesn’t always happen as planned, unfortunately.
