Acceptance, Expectations and disappointment

I went out of my way to find someone a house recently. And this is when I desperately need to move myself...So anyway, I found the place. Personally I thought it was quite perfect. Accepted its TINY, but it had everything that I thought he would need. It has a geyser, cupboard, fridge, AC, TV, two attached beds. This even had curtains, mattresses, pillows. It's extremely close to office, and within his budget....What I'm trying to say is, as per me it has EVERYTHING A SINGLE NORMAL PERSON would need!!!!!

But No! Some people can just never be happy.- "The place is so tiny". "The kitchen is smaller than my suitcase." "That's not a bathroom, it's just a toilet." "If I stretch both my hands, I'm sure I'll be able to touch opposite walls." There's a lot more, but never mind....

After all of this, whats the point in saying "Thank you". "You were there when I needed help"...."blah" "blah"

So, this is where acceptance, expectations and disappointment come in.... I did all of that because I wanted to help him out. I was majorly pleased at the idea that he was completely dependent on me and had left all of that to me. I was his savior, his knight, so on and so forth.... So the expectation was that he should love whatever I had done n praise me sky high.... Obviously he did not, but my expectation was wrong...

Once all this drama was over, we had fun shopping for blankets, more pillows, etc. That was nice...setting it all up later was also nice...

Now here's the thing- he said "don't think I'm a bastard n a horrible person, don't think i have used you... I needed help, n you were there for me... Thank you".... Now how i read this is that, don't expect any loyalty/extra affection n the like...

I cant complain really. I wanted to do all of this. Yes he has used me, but i let myself be used, so why make a big deal out of it....

But I'm pissed anyway
