Does being a true friend mean you can't object if you feel you're being taken for granted? Or for that matter they can't object if you take them for granted?
I think the answer's somewhere between "you can say so and it'll work out in the end" and "to a point." There's got to be some end to it, but one side of reliability is sort of being able to take someone for granted...to a point.
