If you define friend - means somebody you can lean on, help for, with you in any circustances (true friend) and soon. But if the situation is considered betrayal - how strong and pain it is for me I can foregive him/her as soon as asking me. Becuase for me if you reacted against her/him I think no good karma with you. So the bible ask always "how many times you foregive your brothers?" Jesus said 77 times. In other hand "what do you think Jesus did not foregive Judas when he is betrayed for 30 pcs of silver?....

In other words,no matter how you we're badly hurt by the person,it's a must for us to give our forgiveness to that person. But let's accept the fact that some people's heart is hard as a stone. Thank you for the comment.

wow. here is something i know all to well. i have recently been released from a federal prison. thats a whole nother story. anyway, while i was there, my best friend had a relationship with my bf who is now my ex bf. obviously. anyway. when i found out in prison, i was sooooooo mad beyond comprehension. i thought to myself, if i ever get out and see her, im going to kill her. plus she stole my phone from MY house. my mom didnt know that i was selling the phone TO her NOT for her! so she owes me $200. because of my ex, her and her husband got divorced and they have 4 kids. he caused it. but she said she learned her lesson cuz now, im out, and ive talked to her. she told me EVERYTHING. ill admit, it hurt me alot to hear all of this. but ive had alot of time to think and to contemplate on the matter. and i can actually be friends with her still and forgive her for what she has done. it would take me all night to tell you everything but we go way back and i value her friendship more than anyone elses. alot of ppl have said that i shouldnt forgive her but i can and i did and we are getting back to where we were before.

I don't have experienced yet and I don't wanna try. But let me share the experienced on my close friend. I had two friends that is close to me and let as call them friend1 and friend2. They are very close also to each other but one time they meet this boy and secretly the two feel in love with that guy. Friend1 is hiding her feelings and friend2 do the same. Until one day the guy decided to court freind2. Friend1 got hurt that is why friend2 and the guy keep their relationship to her but one day friend1 discovered the secrets. Now, even if they took for granted all what happen but it seems that there is already a gap between the two of them.

That truly hurts. Chances for filling the gaps between them is 60-40. Anyway,most of the time we are not in control of our emotions,especially if love is a stake. If you are friend2,will you accept the guy to be your bf or not? ;-) It's really hard to decide when love is at stake.

I have such experiences in many levels!! I have described my school level betrayal to some other discussion, so i would discuss about my next level of experience. Once, i was the representative of my class, for the first two years of my college life, one of my friend came to me and told to step down, he told that he is interested to lead the class from front. I was shocked and i ever expected anything like this.. He told me, that he needs some reputation from department and college for his own purpose, so i decided to step down with a heavy heart !!! U know what all things happened to me after such thing. Department symposium came in front and i told i wanna host one program, but he never considered me, he gave that to someone else. Many things happened like this, i was cornered in many aspects and i felt betrayed. I never out casted this betrayal, this stays in my heart throughout !!

Betrayal hurts wherever it comes from. When you are betrayed by a friend, the pain is even more severe. It can leave you devastated, bitter and change your life forever. i have been betrayed by a friend before. it has been many years, but the painful memory is still there.

and it's really hard to forget if the person who betrayed you is someone you trusted most.

Yes many times. That's why I don't trust her anymore. We're still friends not just that close anymore.
