who was at fault?
You were at fault for using him
he got sick of it

Is it really that much of a problem to get a ride to somewhere local? Supposed to be good friends.
It sounds like there's something missing from this story. Either he had pent-up resentment, or you were using signals to get him to pay out favours.
The likelier scenario looks to be that you're both fucking stupid, but him more so probably.
That said, we have your story, not his. So you're kind of the main character, obviously. Maybe this woman satisfies something inside him that he needed satisfied; maybe the level of companionship she provides makes him feel better about himself.
Either way, if you're looking for a wrong, I think you're probably about over him, no?
