I Want to Vent

I really dislike being reminded that I should never be selfish and ask someone for help. Seems every time I do, the person either ignores me or agrees and is all pleased to help and then something always comes up (most times with a lame excuse) and I'm left feeling worse due to being let down. After all these years, you would think I would have learned!

@Katte My expectations are always very low. I've learned in my life that I can't really count on others. It would be nice at times though to have someone to help out every now and then.

I hope you find that person but they are very rare

@Katte Kind of lost hope in ever finding that person. But thank you

Its even more complicated when they help you. Believe me if they help you in big issues they expect you to live according to their rules. Its not help its buying sth

@Katte I'm not concerned about that, I do things my way and how I feel they should be done.

At least your wife can count on you.

@Katte Yes, I will always do my best to never let her down.
