i don't honestly think that i could be friends with that person after that because i would always be kind of wondering if they were going to do it again and i would always be questioning what they were doing and if they were doing it for a reason...but i have heard others say that if they have been friends for awhile they would try and work it out but i think that if you were good friends with them then they wouldn't want to do anything to hurt you and it looks like that would really hurt you when they turned their backs on you...especially since you think that you can trust them...so what are all of your opinions on this matter...thanks for reading my discussion and i hope that you all have a great night!

Hello jhl930
I really think it depends on how long you had been friends and if they were justified in their actions. As a rule I think men are more forgiving that women. I am very stubborn myslef and it took both me and my father 16 odd years to sort out our differences but he is just as stubborn as me or I him!!

This is supposed to be your best friend and I have to say absolutely not. Your best friend is supposed to be there for you through good and bad. You should be able to trust them with anything yousay or do. Its quite simple. if a friend betrays you then in my opinion they werent your friend. Friendships are forever and for me it wouldnt even be an option. There would be no forgiving and forgetting. Im not a cold person but all I expect out of my best friend is the same respect I give him. Me and my best friend have been friends for 30 years with no holes in the road

We are talking about my best friend here so I think one's my trust towards my best friend is broken, like leaving me on a time that I need my best friend the most, is like bathing in an freezing-cold water. I will never ever do that to my best friend, when I know that I am needed and that I can give my hand. Whatever the reason maybe, if I am hurt, it would be hard for me to listen and to accept the fact that I am left alone.

There's no way I would remain friends with someone who abused my trust. Especially when they were supposed to be my best friend. There are alot of people out there who will only pretend to be a friend , while they have some type of alterior motive.
A real friend wouldn't do anything to hurt the other, at least not on purpose.
