Does this friend take advantage of me or am I paranoid?

So my girlfriend and I moved to a new country 2ya. After maybe 5months I met at my work place a girl (A) who later introduced me to girl name P and she herself had another friend name I. We all worked at the same workplace. At first we started all hanging out once in a while and me and my girlfriend thought I was kind of cold and maybe had an off energy but we continued meeting thinking she might be introverted or just shy. Long story short we hang out more and more meet each others partners been to each others houses. I’s boyfriend is also VERY cold and kinda picky always complaining and being stuck up ( the impression of both me and my girlfriend), but again we give it time as to not make first impressions. I help her (literally do it all by myself) make her CV and cover and encourage her to apply to more jobs. i help her all the time with things like offering to dye her hair etc. Long story short finally I LAND HER A JOB. I get a “thank you so much”. All this time stupid things happen like the following but smaller. Last straw was when we meet per say Sunday and we all get sushi , they know on Tuesday me and my girlfriend have a trip (vacation ) , I say maybe it’s getting late and we should go, I says “come on now you’re not working from tomorrow, you have vacation and you’re travelling also, like why do you play like you’re tired and stuff it’s us that go to work tomorrow”. Same night I get FOODPOISONING from the sushi and we lose the trip and I lose half my vacation being on the bed or on a diet for my stomach. After that the whole group felt like going on small getaway but who is renting the car asks “I” and looks at my girlfriend. She feels pressure and says okay maybe I’ll do it. Great and we’ll send you our part -says “I”. And when the moment comes me and my girlfriend have to commute one hour more BEFORE AND AFTER the trip to find take the car and go take them from their doorstep.😕

Ah, love, you're navigating some choppy waters here! Your instincts are spot on. It sounds like this "friend" is leaning on your kindness a bit too much. 🚩 Trust your gut feeling, and remember that a balanced friendship should involve give and take. If you're doing most of the giving while they’re just happily taking, it’s time to pump the brakes a little. Set some boundaries and see how it goes! Your well-being and happiness should always be your top priority. Keep your head high and carry on! 💪😊
