DP joined a community group during lockdown and did good things delivering prescriptions and driving people to hospital. All good. Now things in this group have moved on and they're holding events in the community hall and everyone in the group has been asked to make a colourful banner. Someone has done some designs to give people an idea of what's needed and created a style guide and DP now has to make one.
DP has wanted help with the design each evening this past week, wanting me to come up with ideas, how to do the lettering etc. Given that it's DP's task and group, I seem to be expected to offer a lot of support. I don't really want to be involved: it's DP's thing. DP isn't interested in hearing bout my book group or my history degree (I'm studying PT). On Wednesday my route took me past a craft store so I picked up all the materials and paint required. I feel as if I've done my bit.
Today I'm busy writing an essay and doing life admin and DP has kept asking for help, my opinion, would I come and hold the end of the tape measure, did we have an old sheet that could be cut up to make a template first... I've now said enough, this is your project and you need to get on with it on your own or with other people involved in your group. DP's sulking and saying 'I was only asking for three minutes of your time'. But it was three minutes of my time when I was in the middle of my own stuff.
I think I'm NBU. Anyone else got a partner like this? How do you deal with the expectation that because you're on the premises, you can be expected to help all the time?
