Overview
Despite some possible feelings of concern on your part, the balance of power between you and a partner (either romantic or professional) is not in danger today. So if you're asked to make an extra effort in the relationship, you shouldn't feel suspicious. Giving aid to someone in distress will make you feel better about yourself -- and reinforce your importance in their life. The two of you are a team. It will be in your own best interest to lessen the load by going the extra mile.
