Okay...let's say that's a given.
Let me put it another way.
You establish a relationship and push to move in...then set up home, call all the shots in the relationship, plant a bunch of seeds without permission, tend and maintain the garden, and start pulling out until you get the 7 year itch.
Three years after moving out, the sprouts from those seeds that you planted "over there" are poisonous and outta control; growing in the wrong direction. You're being asked for assistance and guidance and told that your responsibility has not ended.
Do you say, "sorry, I've moved on, you're on your own, baby"? Or, "I'll give you some gardening tips from afar, but that's it, baby"? Or, "I'll give you some gardening tips from afar and send you some tools and equipment, but I'm not coming back, baby". Or, do you do all that you can from afar and consider going back to reap what you've sown?
