I can relate somewhat and found that when the foundation of the relationship is "helping," then after that need is gone, most of the time so is the relationship. I was hoping for some sort of deeper or more meaningful friendships, or sense of community. It's been hard to come by from those situations. From my side, I realized that the longing for something deeper and authentic actually made the relationship transactional and inauthentic.
