It seems to me that everyone I know (except family) is unreliable, and no one does what they say they will anymore. What is wrong with people these days?

Im tired of doing things for others and taking care of them and getting absolutly nothing in return, nothing.

I was sick throwing up the other day (lost 4 pounds in 24 hours!), I told my roommate/bestfriend that morning in a text I felt awful and extremly tired. I had tried getting a hold of her that whole day but she never answered her phone and instead of coming home after work she didnt come home till very late, and I was all alone like usual when im sick. The next day she is working and I send her an IM asking her that if its not too much trouble, that she could bring home food, cause I was still out of it and there was nothing at home for me to eat. She said sure and would call me at 7 to see what I wanted. So even though I was pretty hungry at 5, I waited since she had told me she would bring home food. 7 comes and goes, then at 8 I get her call, she decided to go to dinner with her bf instead (who she sees more then me and i live with her) and she would bring me pizza back. :censor::censor::censor:??? had i not told her how I was sick and throwing up, pizza is not in the cards for me. I told her to forget about it and I would take care of myself like I always do.

It just bothers me cause these little things happen all the time. She said she would bring me food from somewhere else after her dinner, but was I suppose to wait to eat till 10, when i had been hungry since 5. If she would have just called me earlier and told me I would had made or ordered something I could eat, but this stuff happens all the time.She always calls at the last minute cause "something came up"

Everytime I actually need her for something important she never answers the phone, or wont come home all day. When she says she is going to pick us up food and be back in an hour, its is usually 4 hours later that she shows up. She doesnt even buy anything for the house anymore, or do dishes.

I dont care if she wants to stay out longer or go to dinner with her boyfriend, but dont tell me your going to do something then not do it, or take longer then you you say you will, everytime. It really wouldnt bug me if this happened once in a while, but its everytime I am relying on her for something she always disappoints me, and im so sick of it. And it really upset me cause I was sick, and when she is sick i go above and beyond. I go to the market and buy every type of medicene, i make homemade soup, take her temp, etc...

Im doing her a favor by letting her stay with me, and now i can hardly get her to vacum let alone take out trash or clean counters, etc... and the worst part is I feel bad asking, like im wrong! Whats wrong with me?

She is never home anymore even though she got this new job that was suppose to give her more time around the house. Even her dog isnt liking her so much anymore, lastnight she was in the family room with me and all the dogs, I got up to go to bed and said "come on guys" (to my dogs) they all got up super quick and followed me to my room, even her dog, I heard her calling for him for like 5 minutes and he wouldnt come, eventually he did, but that never happened before, he use to follow her around like a shadow and now he does it with me instead.

Her boyfriend sleeps over all the time, which is fine, he is a nice nice guy, and she goes out to dinner with him constantly, while keeping me home with the dogs waiting for her. She says Oh well Ill be home in a couple hours and Ill vacum, then she doesnt show up till late and "forgets".

This morning I woke up and I was disapointed and felt so let down, by just everything that I started crying, and was on the verge of tears all day.

Im so giving, Ill do anything for anyone, Ill be there for my friends when they need me, when they are sick, sad, happy, whatever, but where are they when I need them? where are they when Im sick? Where are they when Im cleaning the whole house everyday all day becuase she never does anymore. All she has to do is wake up 10 minutes early and vacum and wipe off a counter or two, is that too much to ask?

I feel like its my fault cause I know she is unreliable, so why do i even ask? and from now on Im not asking her for a thing, except to clean, which she is 24 and should do that without me having to ask!

Im so tired of disappointment and feeling let down, I feel like I have no one to turn to.

I left the house this morning without saying goodbye and I ignored her IM this morning, i figure she doesnt respond to me half the time so Ill play the same game back.

Im going to be differnt now, no more misses nice gal.Im not doing her any favors anytime soon!

Sorry im emotional so i hope this makes sense.

Sounds like you need a change in living arrangements.

Perhaps her and her boyfriend can find a place of their own and you can find another roommate?

it's probably a good idea to wait, but i agree that something needs to change - either her behavior or her presence.
meanwhile, stop expecting her to do ANYTHING. don't even ask her anymore. a big part of your disappointment w/her is when she doesn't follow thru - you said you'd be ok if she'd just tell you upfront. so, from now on [until you ask her to move out] just assume that she won't do anything she says she will, & act accordingly.
if she unexpectedly does follow thru, it'll be a pleasant surprise!

Wow, yeah you really need to be less "there" for her. She takes advantage of you, or at least thats how it seems.

Good luck, that must be very hard

I agree.
She doesn't sound like much of a friend to me. Set it in your mind to not depend on her or expect anything from her & just one day when you're ready, tell her the whole arrangement isn't working out. In the meantime, learn to live by the old saying "If you want something done, you have to do it yourself". Being at the mercy of others is no fun.
