How would you react if someone read your personal diary???  

I think I would be very upset if I found that someone I trusted, a friend or a family member had taken to reading my diary. It does go passed the trust line in my opinion.

Thankfully I have never been in the situation where this has happened to me, but while I avoid confrontations, this is one thing that I would need to be confrontational about. I also wouldn't end the relationship, but explain in a nice calm way how I felt upset and a little betrayed by their actions.

if its an online diary, like my blog of course i wouldn't mind. but if its a really personal diary, then i will really get mad at that person. that's invasion of privacy and reading one's private stuff shows a lack of respect for the owner.

I wish I kept a diary but I don't have enough patience or discipline. I really respect people who can. I used to but similar things happened to me mostly from parents and siblings which is why I originally stopped. Should you save the relationship? I would say no. She proved she cannot be trusted and not only did she read it but went and told your other friend (who seems to be a much better friend) of yours. She will screw you over again guaranteed and next time may be bigger.

I haven't kept a diary in a long time, but I would be livid if someone did read my personal diary. Because, that is one's personal thoughts and emotions and it is not meant for everyone to see.

I would be very, very annoyed if this happened to me.

Diaries are personal things, they are somewhere that you can pour out your really personal thoughts and experiences.

'Sue' is not a true friend to do this to you, there is no other way but that it was deliberate - she wasn't forced to read it.

I feel very sorry for you.

well, i am glad that I don't have a diary, so that no one can read it :) but if I had some, and someone read it, i will be really very mad on that guy!

I dont keep a diary, but if im in your shoe i would be very honest with that friend and that Im very disappointed with what she did. Being a friend means trusting each other and respecting each others privacy.

For me the very fact that she intentionally and even planned the whole thing. I wouldn't call her a friend no more. Invading your very own privacy with your diary is just very degrading!!! I don't know about you, but for me if someone (especially a very dear person to me) betrayed me it's hard for me to give that person back my trust. Even just a bit of it. I would confront here directly with it. But of course I will take into consideration their relationship (Mary-Sue) to each other. I'll keep the info regarding Mary and just to myself. Saving the relationship is not the issue for me. It's her being called my "friend" is the real issue. If she really was my friend, she will not do such a thing to me. For the fact that she did so, then there is no relationship to saved to begin with. If she wants to know stuffs about me, she can just ask me directly. And if I refuse to answer, that's for her to respect my decision.

i would be extremely offended unless i offered the oppertunity to the individual. i write some of my most personal information in my diary so i dont want anyone to take it upion themselves to jsut read it. thats not right.

that is invasion of private property and i do not like that kind of attitude for it shows no respect to me at all. if i were you i would definitely confront her and telling her i do not like what she did. i will let her know that i am mad at her because of what she did. by doing that will remind her that invasion of private property is not good.

to mary, she did right by telling you what sue did. to me, i'd rather lose a friend of being honest than losing a friend because i lied. have a nice day!
