Is it normal to be whipped?

I don't mean whipped in the physical sense. I have a girlfriend (now fiancee!!) who is clinically depressed, is allergic to a lot of things, and has alopecia (her hair painfully falls out in patches). Because of all these things, as well as the fact that I love her, I do everything I can for her. Anything she asks, anything she hints at, anything I know would make her happy, I do. This is partially because I want to take some of her burden from her, and partially because I want to make her happy. Other people just watch me running in circles for her, laugh, and say I'm whipped. The thing is, if I'm whipped, then I enjoy it because I get to help her. Is it normal for me to be "whipped"?

    You sound like a very nice person, but I think you are going to have a sad and pathetic life with this depressed person if you are always doing a lot more for her than she does for you, and if she doesn't recover from her depression.

    Don't over do it. She still has the ability to do things for herself. If you do everything for her she will become too dependant and not learn to help herself. In the end it would become bad for both of you. Even if you always do everything for her what if you die? Then she wont know what to do and in the end you would have burdened her by not encouraging her to be self reliant and she will not be able to thrive. People with disabilities need to work even harder to thrive than most people and doing everything for them makes them helpless and weak in the end. If you want to help her show her how to do things for herself so that she doesnt become dependant.

    You're not whipped, you're helping your partner that needs help. Good on you for doing what you're doing.

    Aw, how very sympathetic of you! Of course it's normal. You are a great guy for being that way to her. I don't consider that whipped at all.
