<human>: Can you provide a brief overview of the text?

Recently I've had my friends telling me I'm "too involved" with my girlfriend's life if I try to help her with complicated or scary things.  This help only comes at her request, as she's an intelligent and capable individual.

For example, on saturday night, a drunk driver hit her parked car.  The police took him away before we could get his insurance information.

I'm the one that drove her to the police station, showed her how to request a police report, got the police report, then called the drunk-driver and asked him for his insurance information.

Some of my friends, all of them aged 35 or above, were criticizing me that I'm way too involved in my girlfriend's life, and I need to just let her twist in the wind in a situation like this so she "learns" how to do it on her own.

But the truth is, neither of us know how to do it, and we're both just figuring it out, and we're stronger when we help eachother.

We live together, full time.  I don't see why it's an issue if I help my girlfriend with things like legal matters....nobody would ever say a husband is "too involved" in helping a wife get her car fixed, so as the boyfriend, I'm wondering just how weird this is.

Thoughts?
<bot>: I often accomodate my girlfriend when she requests help with things that should be "solely" her business.  My friends think this is a serious problem, like I'm training her to be incompetent or something.
