We've tried to talk about it, but we can't really come up with an answer... It's not that he doesn't care about me or that he doesn't want to help me when I am upset... He simply has a life of his own that he needs to take care of first, such as getting enough sleep to go to work the next day. I realize I need to be less dependent on him. But I wonder where the line between being dependent and simply needing help is and at what point I'm asking too much from my boyfriend.
