If it's any consolation, it's not just you. He likes to try to insist that he can handle anything, and that he needs to be able to take on all manner of things by himself because he wants to try to help me. I don't fault him for it, but sometimes he needs to be argued with, because he doesn't always know when to stop and accept help.

He knows you're strong, but he's going to worry anyway. He does it to me all the time, it's frustrating.
