I should start by saying it's not just this one person. I feel this way when anyone checks on me often and it has been an issue in past relationships. It's not every 5 minutes but it is multiple times a day. My SO is quick to respond when I implemented the "taste of your own medicine" approach so I don't think it's intentional. Something about being treated like a kid just makes my blood boil. AITA for not knowing how to deal with this type of antagonistic behavior as an adult? Is it normal for couples? If not, how should I approach the other person?
