Poor Jesse, Walt really did dump a lot of shit on him from the beginning and never apologised for insisting that the body and Krazy-8 end up in Jesse's house, even though he knew Jesse didn't want to bring that stuff back to his home
Even though there is a lighter comic touch to the early Walt/Jesse relationship, the partnership begins with Walt blackmailing Jesse and continues with Walt bullying Jesse into things he doesn't want to do. But we also see that Walt needs to control Jesse. Like Krazy 8 points out, Jesse has a big mouth and that could be Walt's real problem. Walt has to keep Jesse on his side, otherwise there's a risk that Jesse could run to the cops and rat Walt out. Walt must have worried about that possibility at the start. Walt had threatened to turn Jesse in, but after the events of the first three episodes, Jesse had more dirt on Walt. I don't think there's any hint of friendship between Walt & Jesse until 1x6 when Jesse learns about Walt's cancer and Walt feels guilty for getting Jesse beaten up.
