My RAH seems to have a panic attack everytime he is left to take care of some adult oriented responsibility.
I think he genuinely suffers from panic disorder, but, sometimes I think it is a little convenient. Histrionic? It is maddening, since he doesnt have any problems helping friends, shopping for his own clothes, doing really anything that doesnt put pressure on him to step out of his comfort zone.
I dont know if its a manipulation, but the other stuff just sounds selfish.
Its so hard to come upon a couple with a good man who does things like check your car, etc...
It is a wake up call.
