Sting Gil-galad and the Númenóreans

I always wondered how Gil-galad felt about the Númenóreans on the whole. He was after all the high king of the Noldor and the númenóreans were descended from the very race that were the vassels of his forefathers. How would he had felt when the lesser race that his father once held in servitude were then more powerful then he was? How would he have felt if he had to call these people for aid almost all the time and, possibly felt the envy and humiliation when Ar-Pharazon came to middle-earth with forces he could only dream of?

I tried picturing myself in Gil-galad's shoes and all i could fathom were dark thoughts bordering on disbelief and envy. To have a race that I once deemed inferior now more powerful then I am is hard to swallow.

Does anyone share the same sentiments/thoughts as I do?
