I've read a bunch (but not all) of this thread, and I just have to say that I don't care about dynamics, situation, jealousy, prior agreements, bad moods, confusion or any other excuses - if I genuinely need help and my Dom/friend/partner/boyfriend/anyone around me doesn't give it to me, that person is cruel, and off my list. I don't care what the circumstances are. Every jealous/angry/reasonable conversation possible can happen in the morning. When I was in college, my roommate (who was the worst kind of selfish, jerky, obnoxious person - I couldn't stand her) came back from a bar wasted out of her mind. Her friends dumped her in the room and she promptly went and collapsed, unconscious, in a pool of vomit in the corridor. The RA called 911 and when she was carted off to the emergency room I went with her, and sat in the ER for five hours while she threw up and peed her pants and everyone in the place was rude to me because they assumed I was part of the problem. At like 7am she was able to walk, so they promptly threw us out and I walked her home, got her showered, held her hair while she threw up some more, got her hydrated, and put her in warm clothes in bed. I had to take a shower after that, and when I finally went to sleep it was like 10am. I missed all of my classes, including a test. I seriously wanted to murder my roommate - hated her guts in the first place - and we had words that night when she woke up sober, but I can't even remotely fathom not helping her. Because that's what you do. With the OP, I absolutely think there were conversations to be had the next day, and a ton of examining their relationship and expectations. But the crux of the issue, to me, is why he didn't help her. I can't imagine sleeping next to the kind of person who wouldn't.
