Resentment is when a person feels they have given more (time, love, credit, money, effort etc.) than someone else and have not been appreciated, acknowledged or rewarded for it. Is that the case here? If not, you may be misinterpeting. Come up with a way to ask without saying, "Do you resent me?" or "Do you hate me?" Instead, tell this person you've been thinking about them, that you care about their happiness and have been wondering if they're unhappy and if there was anything you could do to help them feel better. Then, if they say, "No, I'm fine" tell them OK, if you do ever need something or feel bummed and want to talk, I'm here. And then let it go, knowing you've done all you can reasonably do.
