I think you are very right that Sam took Dean for granted, a lot like a child would do to his/her parents. I know I do mine. In some way, it is Dean's fault Sam is like that because Dean's love for Sam is unconditional.
No, I'm not saying Dean doesn't make mistake. I think he made a big one in last week's episode by giving Sam the ultimatum. The thing with Dean is he doesn't hold grudges. He can see his mistake when others point out to him, and when he sees it, he apologizes for it.
Sam has been told for years that he's the chosen one, the special one (even if it's told by the demons). So he's used to being the one that's different from everyone else. In some way, I see him even revels in it because he himself believed it. After Dean came back from Hell, I see Sam had a hard time dealing with Dean being singled out by the angels for being the special one. I think that's why he's always saying Dean's weak, couldn't do the deed. Like I mentioned to someone else, before anyone say Dean is weak because he feels guilty about what he did in Hell, I beg to disagree. No one can convince me having a conscience makes one weak!
Like you said, of course everything is not magically fixed once each said "I'm sorry." If that's the case, life would be easy wouldn't it. There's so much that happened couldn't be changed. That's why we have a whole new season (hopefully more) to straighten things out! ;)
