Do you believe in forgiving friends who betray your trust?

It depends...
Let me put it this way. A relationship between two people is like a glass.
Some glasses are stronger and meant to last more, like those you have with family or very close friends.
Others are thinner, for example an acquaintance or someone you just met..

If the other person does something minor, it looks like a stain on the glass. You wipe it away and forget it.

Other things might cause a little rupture in the glass. Maybe in a corner somewhere out of you direct sight. Occasionally your eye might wander of to it and you remember what caused it, but you are able to oversee it for most of the time.

But, small ruptures night add up and become more and more visible and annoying for you... so in that case, you might cut off with that person because looking through the glass is not pleasant anymore.

And finally there are some things that can shatter the glass. And because of its nature it can't be replaced or fixed. In those cases trust is gone, along with the relationship you had with the person.

Now it is up to you to decide what you can oversee and what not... But I know that when my glass is shattered there's no going back...
