It is hard to forgive friends that talks about you behind your back and break your trust. But I can be done. When your anger has gone down a bit it may be good to try to talk about it with your friend. I have found that it is a good thing to give people a second chance. But someone who repeatedly breaks your trust is not worthy of beeing your friend, in my view. There are many potential friends out there that would never hurt a friend like that.

This is sad to hear. Are you sure that she considers you her friend? are these things damageing to your reputation? if yes, then this is not a friend. because a true friend would not hurt you this way. friends look out for each other, not stab them in the back. i think you should reevaluate this friendship... only you knows if this is forgivable. but whatever you decide remember that there are true friends out there even if she proves not to be one.

There is nothing wrong with Forgiving, but you must let her know, you will never forget! I'm not condoning what your friend did to you by any means, but are you sure you're ready to just throw away 4 years of friendship? In my past experiences, it's always been about jealousy. Maybe you have something she doesn't or maybe she is just a disturbed person who feels better about herself when down-talking others. Whatever the case may be, sit back and examine the situation. Is she someone you're willing to just let go, but then again, is this the type of person you really want in your life?
