"Even the strongest and most independent woman in the world doesn&amp;#x27;t mind being taken care of once in a while, right? I know I enjoy the occasional special treatment when I&amp;#x27;m feeling sick or need a hand. But does there come a point when too much TLC just gets bothersome? According to (possibly totally fabricated for drama purposes) rumors, Kate Middleton and her adorable baby bump might be getting a little too much royal treatment (is such a thing even possible?) from her devoted husband Prince William, and his overzealous anti-bacterial protections might be &amp;quot;driving her mad.&amp;quot; Supposing this is even true, the combination of a pregnancy and the level of public scrutiny these two face makes this a totally unique situation, but I&amp;#x27;m wondering if you&amp;#x27;ve ever had to deal with an overprotective guy yourself. Especially those of you who&amp;#x27;ve had a baby or dealt with any other major situation where a guy might feel like taking extra good care of you! I&amp;#x27;ve never had that experience, but a funny little thing I remember about an ex is how he would never let me carry or lift my own suitcase when he was with me. It was sweet, and of course I didn&amp;#x27;t mind the thoughtful gesture, but I would get a little annoyed when he would imply I was physically incapable of doing it myself without getting hurt. Like, who do you think does this when you&amp;#x27;re not around, buddy? I traveled without him all the time! It&amp;#x27;s just a suitcase! But it was a very minor annoyance, as frankly, I was happy to let him do the heavy lifting when he was there. So I guess the key for me is: A little overprotectiveness is sweet, as long as he trusts you to take care of yourself too! Does your guy ever get too protective of you? Do you kind of like it, or does it drive you a little crazy? Other cute-or-not debates: *Cute or Creepy: Guys Who Use (and Use...and Use...)
