I can count on one hand the number of friends of whom I have expectations, and I've known all of them long enough to know those expectations are not ill-founded. If I am there for someone, it is because I am there for them. If they are later not there for me - frankly, it is unlikely I'd have expected them to be.
There's been an odd time through the years - so long ago though, that I couldn't really tell you how I handled it.
