I couldn't catch a ride with the bus due to working overtime tonight, so I asked my cousin if he could give me a lift home. He said no because he needed to go to work tomorrow, so I trusted him and took an expensive cab ride home instead. Turns out he lied; the moment I walked in the door I saw my cousin there, him and his friend were laughing and he made a comment about me having 'great timing'. No apology, nothing, he just laughed at me. He's currently playing video games downstairs, doubt he'll be going to bed anytime soon.
I feel pretty hurt by this, not sure what to do about it. Should I let it slide? Confront him? I kind of don't feel like associating with him anymore, to be honest. He pulls stuff like this every once in a while, I'm tired of being made to feel like shit because of it. I mean I'd never want to force him to do anything for me, but the fact that he'd lie like this gets to me.

Cut him out of life. Don't waste time and effort on people who don't care about you

Both of these are retarded. OP your cousin doesn't owe you anything. Like anyone you have to know who is reliable (eg parents, certain friends etc) and who will be unreliable (ie your cousin). Just keep this in mind when you ask favours from him, likewise when he asks favours from you. I have brothers at both ends of the spectrum (very reliable vs reliably unreliable) and I don't hate one over the other for it, it's just who they are.

I have people like this in my life, good friends actually. Everything's usually just fine between us as long as I remember not to trust or count on them.
Some people are like that. They're fun to be around, but nothing more. You either can deal with that or not. I doubt that confronting your cousin would change him, it would just make you look like ''whiny bitch'' to him.

Your cousin feels no obligation towards helping you you should feel no obligation towards helping him

Simple solution this cousin gets no more than one word answers for the rest of his life and anytime he asks for help say no

Basically its what the poster a few posts above said. Don't cut the out of your life. Just forget it. These people are fun to be around for vidya ir sports or whatever. As soon as you need the smallest of favors, they don't do it. Just never trust them again.
