palatine On the bright side, it's absolutely excellent that you have a wife who understands and is willing to help. Too many people are overly demanding of their partners without being willing to make the necessary sacrifices.
Don't let it get to you overmuch in the ego, a married couple is a pair of people who are making it through the world, against the world, together. You'll rely on her and she'll rely on you, as and when the times demand. As long as you remain committed to her and you do not take her aid for granted, there is nothing shameful in relying on her at all.
