Holiday return?

Just returned from a 4 week holiday at my home abroad with my cousin.
For various reasons it was horrible.
My cousin paid for her own flight but stayed, not for the first time, obviously free of charge.
In all the 4 weeks my cousin didn't even offer to buy me a drink.
We arrived home to Gatwick, to find her son had cancelled her taxi (I went by public transport and intended to go home the same), and came by car to collect her.
I was staying the night at my sons house, it was easier to get to late at night, in same area, but a few miles away from her home.
I assumed he'd also give me a lift but she got really off when I asked and said 'if he wanted to take me he would have said'.
So I asked if she would ask him to give me a ride she said 'no, I don't know what way he's going or what he wants to do after' .
It would have been 20 mins out of his way.
I said I was shocked and thought it rude, she went her way and I caught the tube.
After 4 weeks together, it was, I thought rather harsh.
I feel really upset over this and wonder if I'm being unreasonable?
Thoughts please

At least you can choose your friends...

Why on earth didn’t you say anything about her taking advantage of you for 4 whole weeks?!

HairyScaryMonster · 01/08/2022 16:33

Well no more free holidays for her then. That's appalling behaviour!

Is 4 weeks nit a bit much to come and visit? Sounds like you need to distance yourself. I think 1 week is sufficient even then it would have to be a very close cousin.

Is she selfish generally?

Well that's you told!

No more free holidays for her!
