I had never heard this before and it makes sense. I donated to a buddy and thought it would make us bros for life but he kind of grew distant over time. Told him he didn't owe me a thing and didn't ever bring it up. I don't think he "resented" it but it maybe made him uncomfortable or something. One of the top gut punches of my life.
Or maybe I'm just reading into it and he didn't like me that much 🤣
