Have
you ever betrayed a friend?I'm sure my friend Lita felt betrayed at a time when she was
an emotional mess because she was living with myself and her ex-boyfriend. The ex started
dating another woman and bringing her home. Since Lita was sleeping on our couch, and she
seemed like a wreck I told her she should leave and go crash with other friends. She
really felt like I had chosen the ex over her, when I felt like I was pushing her out of a
painful living situation.

Yes, sadly. And it wasn't right. And I'm
still troubled by it almost six years later.

Nearly twenty-five years ago, my
husband and I became friends with a couple from
Louisiana. The husband was studying to become a preacher and his wife stayed home and kept
house. After six weeks, the husband told me that he had had a dream in which he was told
that he was supposed to start his own church...and that I was to be his helpmate. He then
asked me to kiss him to "seal the deal." I told my husband about the
conversation and the next day we went to the Divinity School this guy was attending and
reported the conversation to the headmaster. Of course, the guy denied it and we lost a
good friend. But at the time, this seemed like the only thing we could do.

No, can't say that I have. Betrayal is
something I've never really wanted to be a part of.

Yes I have...I was young and figured since
she had done me wrong I was going to get her back. Now I look back at it and think it was
just a waste of time.

You don't betray friends, you betray
associates. Don't think I have.
Alias Irrelevante
Nope. I have loyalty to such a degree it is
sometimes a fault in my character.

No, not that I can think of.

I don't
know about betraying a friend, but I've talked about them behind their backs and I might
have told someone a secret that I wasn't supposed to or something like that.
Kyle
Sadly, yes. And the sex wasn't even worth
it.

Probably.
I don't know about actual betrayal. I'm sure I was snobby to some of my friends up till my
early teens, but I can't think of anything I did that was too awful, right off the top of
my head. I guess my husband's ex-girlfriend was supposedly my friend--but she never
actually liked me anyway. I don't feel that bad about betraying someone who only pretended
to like me in the first place--especially in the name of true love.

Unfortunately, Yes. Luckily, I was
forgiven and I learned a lot from the experience. I
would never do that to a friend again.

does stealing a couple cd's count? i've done
that.

I don't think so. I may have broke a
confidence. I do remember struggling with whether or not to tell my best girlfriend that
her boyfriend was cheating on her. I did finally tell her.
Janet, 44
E. Brunswick, NJ USA
Well yes, in a sense. I was going through a
personal trauma back about 10 years ago...my best friend was the brunt of an all-out
purging during one of my mood swings. I said things to her (about her) that I still can't
believe I said. That's what depression and anxiety can do to a person...I will never
welcome that particular illness back into my life again. Ugh!
