Hi,
I'm hoping that someone can offer some advice, or has been in a similar situation.
We have a new couple that joined the church about 2 months ago. For about the last month and a half, the wife has latched onto me, to the point that I'm beginning to feel like I'm being stalked. Daily repeated phone calls, with multiple messages on the answering machine, sometimes as many as 4 in 6 hours. Getting my cell phone number off our answering machine when I told her that it was for business only and that I did not give it out. (I'm self employed). Wanting me to go with her to all her Dr. appointments every week (these run an average of 6 hours with driving time included). Calling to ask if I would take her husband to his Dr. appointment. Calling or stopping my hubby at church to fix their fence because their 5 dogs are escaping from their yard (he's already been there 3 times). Trying to corral me every Sunday right after church to talk, even if it means interupting someone else that is talking with me. Now calling every Wednesday night for the last month to say that she doesn't feel up to coming to bible study and her husband expects to be picked up (although the last message said to call her back later because she was going shopping).
I'm trying to be a good servant to my Savior, but at what point does one stop being a servant, and start being taken advatage of?
