I did have one thing I needed to bounce off of people. At first I thought it was a good sign that he asked me to pick him up for the emergency - I mean I'm the one he could rely on when it was really needed. But then for him to cut me out of everything else like that... it was hurtful and now I just feel a bit used. I realize this might be the "backlash" but I might also be reading too much into this. I have our shared car, I do not have a job, he knew I was free & close by and he knows I will of course drive him to the ER because I'm nice.
Do I tell him to find his own ride when he gets out of the hospital? Is that cold? I just feel like being a nice person isn't really working. What if he had to deal with the reality that I actually won't always be able (or willing) to do these kinds of things for him....
I don't know. Maybe I'm just reacting out of hurt right now.
