This is my first ever SFW script (and my first A4A)! I have a chronic illness and today is a (very) low spoon day so I felt inspired to write this while I'm curled up on the couch (despite the other scripts that are sitting unfinished in my google drive). The title was supposed to be a placeholder but then I made the connection between spoons and spooning and it made me laugh, so the title stayed. This one is obviously a lot more dialogue-heavy (and kind of long), but as always, feel free to edit/tweak/remove/add whatever you like to make it work better for you. I hope you guys enjoy this one!

Background: Your significant other has a chronic illness and has her good days and bad days. You try to help take care of her on her bad days, but it makes her feel guilty because she doesn’t feel like she does her fair share in the relationship.

Scenario: You come home to find that your significant other is low on spoons and has been in bed all day. You do your best to comfort and take care of her, but she’s resistant to your help. She admits to you that she feels guilty when you have to take care of her and do things for her, but you remind her that you take care of her because you want to, not because you have to.

There are tons of articles about it (and alternatives to it) but the Wikipedia article will give you plenty of information to start with.
