Betrayed..

Even if you are friends with somebody it doesn't guarantee that they will treat you with honesty. Lies is part in every relationship. One must learn to deal with it.

Forgiving is one thing. Trusting again is something totally different. Once someone lies, trust has been broken indefinitely and needs to be rebuilt. And you are not obligated to continue that kind of friendship. You have to decide how important this friend of yours is to you, how long you have been friends, and whether you will ever be able to trust her again. Forgiving on the other hand is more important for you than for her. When you can't forgive, resentment keeps building and can lead to illness and emotional difficulties. When you can't forgive, the other person has control of your feelings. Forgiving does not mean you condone what someone did to you. It means you let it go. Forgiving does not mean you feel any better about what happened or that you will ever forget about it. But as long as you don't forgive, you will continue to have those negative hurtful feelings inside and you won't be able to get rid of them. It doesn't mean that it what they did is okay with you. It just means you are not going to let it have control of your life anymore. And it releases you to make healthier decisions...like whether you want to keep this person as your friend and give her a chance to rebuild that trust.
