How low can you sink?

I responded in one of my mylot friends' discussion about cheating and betraying a friend. The discussion brought nostalgic memories of a friend.
Well, I was betrayed and cheated by a friend and it was a very complicated story. You see there was a guy who courted me online. As friends, we share news and tidbits about our life. My friend got so interested about my online suitor so she asked to see the guy's picture. My fault was that I forwarded the guy's picture (with the guy's email address) that I received from the guy. After sending the email I realized I sent the guy's email add as well, but then I shrugged off any malicious thoughts that came in my mind. I trusted my friend.
I should have not. 
I was surprised when days later, she started telling me that the guy is bad news. I asked her why she's telling me that and she just told me "I can sense it". Then the guy started to ask me things about my friend, like how many years have I known her, do I trust her, weird stuff.. but then again, I shrugged it off.
Then one day, the betrayal bomb exploded on my face. My suitor told me my friend is a flirt. Of course I got mad at him for telling me that. He then told me that my friend is making a fool out of me and it made me even angrier. As a proof, he forwarded to me the emails that they've exchanged in the last few days. I was really hurt and devastated when I read everything. I am fine with her flirting with the guy, if she wants him herself, I can give way. What really hurt me was that why does she have to sink that low and tell the guy lies against me? Why does she have to go behind me and destroy my image to the guy? Why does she have to pass on personal information about my past just to make the guy turn away from me. I felt so betrayed! How low can she sink? Very very very low!
The friendship was ruined. 
Though we were able to patch things up since I've always been a forgiving person and I don't like enemies and bottled anger, but well, it's not the same as before...
Have you had this experience? Had someone sunk so slow just to hurt you? How did you deal with it?

i leave them alone. guess i'm not a very forgiving person but i don't think someone like that deserves to be forgiven & i sure wouldn't want to be around her. she is not your friend.

Well, my closest cousins and my ex-boyfriend who know the story were surprised that I'm still friendly with her, they told me I shouldn't have forgiven her, that a skunk will always be a skunk. Well, I just want to let go of my anger so I forgave her, but I'm sure I'm not going to trust her again.

Hello,
In my opinion, there are very few true friends in this world. A person is lucky to have a handful of friends on this earth. I would consider this as one of life's lessons, and only be an aquaintence to her. In my opinion, she betrayed your friendship. Friends should be able to trust each other and be honest. I would seek out different friends as well as drop the on-line guy.

Oh I dropped the guy alright. He was part of the betrayal as well. As for my friend, well, we've been friends for more than ten years that's why it hurts like hell. But what was done can't be undone. She'd scarred the friendship, she's still a friend but I don't trust her anymore

Hi there Maple Kisses!
I am really sorry to hear about what happened. I have been a victim of those acts but thankfully, none from the people who are close and important to me.

Yes, it's more painful when someone close to you betrays you, I'm happy you didn't experience it, let's hope you won't. It's very nasty indeed!
