yes I do believe in best friends.I have had a couple of them and the one that I have had the longest we been friends for 25 years, she knows things about me noone does and I trust her fully that noone else will know for after 25 years I still have not heard anything about these things so that tells me I can trust her..This woman is younger than me but I tell you what we both have been each others angels we now live 7 hours apart but still chat and get together on a monthly basis one way or another. so yes i can say I have a really really best friend.

I do have a best friend . She moved away a little over a year ago and I miss her a lot . I do trust her as after years she has never given me any reasons to not trust her . If I found out somehow that she was leaking out things that I had trusted her with , then I would be very upset naturally but so far with her I have been lucky and nothing like this has ever happened to date . We have a lot in common and she is the Godmother to one of my children . I have had best friends that have turned out to be untrustworthy and have been hurt as a result of this but believe that as we get to know people we determine if the person can be considered a best friend and as we get to know them we decide how much we can trust them . We never know for sure until we hear differently that they do not feel the same way either by something they said or by repeating stories that you told them but it is a chance we take when we have a best friend .

My best friend and have known each other for 16 years. We have had many good times and God knows we both have had our bad times. We are always there for each other. We live about an hour and a half from each other. If there is an emergency the other is there as soon as possible. We try to talk daily, but life gets in the way. I would never tell anyone something that she told me in confidence. friendship, like any relationship is built on trust. A true friend would never do or say anything to hurt you. I think that you need to speak to this person that you call a friend and ask them to stop. Do not tell them anything you don't want anyone else to know. Let them know that they have hurt you and if you feel like you don't need this person in your life then just walk away.
