Have you ever been betrayed by a close friend?

Yes. He tried to have sex with my wife. She threw him out and told him not to come back without his wife, her best friend. They moved soon after that.

many times.
until I realized that I was their close friend, they were not mine.

I've been betrayed by family

Two people come to mind. One was my very best friend for several years. We were always texting, talking on the phone and hanging out, and one day he quit talking to me. I have no clue why. Same with another good friend who was a guy, only in that case I think it was because he was in love with me and I was not interested at all and had to keep turning him away. He finally blocked me. I'm so hurt by those two friends that I no longer allow myself to get close to anyone at all. I prefer to be alone now- can't get hurt that way.

I was told I was not a ‘forever friend’, after having spoken nearly everyday for two months.

That really hurt.

A true betrayal isn't realized until they're no longer there, and you never ever see them again.

If you guys are fighting because of a lie, that's a little more mild. So long as there's open communication, there is a possibility to hash things out, there's a possibility for explanation and closure.

I don't believe trust exists, but I also don't believe it needs to exist, all it ever seems to do is get broken.

All of them. 😞

Friends do not betray each other where I come from, or they will face social ostracism for life.

Does serving me baked potatoes with eyes on them count?

Only once

Yes and even my own family

I'm still not comfortable talking about it. Suffice to say, an entire community tore itself apart over what she did.

I was in a coma because of someone I once called a "friend".

I have been betrayed by family.

No i have not

Even worse, blood kin
