Background- My best friend and I have been best friends for 15 years now. We have stopped talking on and off here and there for no reason in particular just busy with our own lives but we eventually get back in contact and everything is great. We just pick up where we left off.
Situation- My truck is a piece of crap and constantly breaks down and leaves me stranded. About a month ago, I talked to her on the phone and she said she was cleaning her house. I went to the store and then to the gas station and my truck wouldn't start. This was about 20 minutes from the time I talked to her on the phone. She lives 2 minutes (literally) from where I was at. I called her and asked if she could come sit with me until I could get the thing to start and she said "well, I just laid down and J (her husband) is about to leave for work and K (her 5 year old son) is in bed". That was a no to sum it up. I said okay and hung up.
Question- Do I have a right to be angry for her not coming?
I feel like I have went above and beyond for her over the years and she just left me hanging. I understand that she has a child that was in bed but if even she could have asked her husband to stop by and make sure I was okay would have been nice. He had to drive past where I was at to get to his work. I can't help but thinking of all the times that I have helped her out and stopped what I was doing to go out of my way for her and anyone else for that matter. I don't do things for people because I want something in return but it did sting a bit to know she wouldn't help.
