Have you ever felt betrayed ?

It hurts, you heal and hopefully you will not hate, and move on... that's how i have dealt with it. It's weird because I had a big blow a year ago now and it's funny how the ones who betrayed me want to "love" me again. I just do it from a distance and feel so much better because I no longer hurt anymore by someone who had no Idea what love really means anyway. How do you feel when betrayed by someone dear? Have you ever felt betrayed and when do you feel betrayed? How do you deal with it?

yeah i've been there myself. the worst was last year as well. i gotten accussed of something which i never been accused of by anyone. sad it was from a family member. but it was the hoildays last year and i iddn't want to be around them so i swollen my pride to send the hoildays with the family. it took me awhile forgive them since it was thing for any man to be lable since all the thing was i wanted to become closer to everyone in the family and two people had to use that against me, i forgave them and i do talk to them but with great care what i say and do. things will never be the same with us, i won't go out of my to help them either, if there is a family get together at thier house i won't go. and they aren't allow to be in my house, just because the things they said and done could have just totally destoied my whole life. they just stuipd

Yes, I feel betrayed alot by my family do to lies, and broken promises that have seriously held me back in life..... I am to the point where I seriously hate my family, and just want to get out and away from them but I keep trying to force myself to keep responding and reacting in a loving manner but its getting harder... I can't go into details... I just can't stand it I am to the point where I want to cry all the time, But I keep trying to focus on earning money online, and trying to earn my indepedence away from these people....who I feel should have never adopted me in the first place. - DNatureofDTrain

hi there [i]Yes i have been betrayed , not for the love issue but in a money matter with my close friends ,They did say some crap stories ,to which i believed and gave them the money ,which was actaully my hard earned saving . Anyways , i did not go to fight with them , because it would only hurt me more , But now i see that these people are suffering for what they had done .I only hope they realize their mistake sooner and come back to older terms [/i] Cheers Vishwas

I haven't felt truly betrayed since high school. It had to do with my best friend and my boyfriend who she introduced me to. I think it wouldn't have hurt so much if she just would have been honest with me. But she chose the route of playing the caring concerned friend with me when we broke up and then she went sneaking around with him without letting me know. It was the lies that hurt, the guy wasn't that much of a gem. It led to the end of our friendship.

Everyone at sometime or another has felt betrayed. The question should really be DID SOMEONE EVER BETRAY YOU?. If they did as difficult as it seems(even when you aren't thinking straight) is to take a step back from the person or subject until you are thinking clearly. Not as simple to do as write but..... The one thing I have learned is to take an honest look at what betrayed me... Does this person really matter in my life, you know in "the grande scheme of things" or are they a painful reminder that I have made a bad decision.

When I was in Women's Ensemble back at my alma mater, some of the girls betrayed me, and they did it to get back at another girl that I had befriended, in a way, I was glad they did because they all, including that girl I befriended, showed their true colors. I was adult about it and told them all that they could go to Hell, and that I would tell everyone on campus to stay away from all of them.

Yes, I have been betrayed more than once. It hurts like heck. I don't think I deal with betrayal in a healthy manner. Lately I have been just bottling it up and ignoring it. But the hurt is still there mean if you have noone to really talk to. How do you really get over a betrayal?

Of course. I was badly hurt by a friend of mine that I was "talking" to. She betrayed me (im not going to get specific) but it hurt me very badly for a while. Im over it now but it has permanently changed how I think of her.

I have been betrayed so many times, I have stopped trusting people as a consequence, I am cynical and mistrusting. I have not dealt with it well but I am trying to move on.

I don't really look to even things out or make it ok. I face it, deal with it, and move on. It may take a minute and sometimes I wonder about things (would have, could have, should have, what if) but mostly I just get it over with. You can't heal if you keep poking open the wounds.

That's the best thing you can is to move on. It doesn't profit you to hold on to hate or hurt when you feel betrayed. Think of Anakin in Revenge of the Sith. What pushes him over the edge is a false perception of being betrayed. When you give into a hate or hurt, it can lead to something destructive that snakes into your life and has a mind of its own. Almost a demon of sorts. We all have been betrayed at one time or another in our life, this is par for the human course, but it is in how we come through that counts. Good luck to you. Anora

yes i've been betrayed so many times. and it really hurts because it is the person whom i considered best friend who betrayed me. ohwell instead of wasting mah time feeling hurt with what she has done to me. i just move on and ignored what she did to me and never talk to her again. life has to move on.

I have been betrayed and i know how it feels.The relationship was started by her with so much enthusiasm.She took care of all my likes and dislikes and tried to impress me in college.I became very serious about her.But once we graduated and got into this corporate environment everything has changed.I have seen her drastic change from utter simplicity to modernism.Everything about her has changed including me.Now she is moving out with someone else and ya that guy is many many times richer than me.

I have been betrayed by someone I was very close to. Actually two people. I don't really deal with it. Just put my head down and bear it until it fades.

Hi,allright,it's hard to say when you were hurt by someone,it must be awful,as far as I am concerned,I think you could just let it go if you were betryed,you can not do any harm to the one you loved,so you let her/him go,I think it's the best way to handle this

I had a good friend of mine completely stab me in the back because she was convinced I did something that I did not. To this day I will still not talk to her. She still laughs about the length she went to, to hurt me. I don't understand how you could knowingly hurt someone like that. I am still mad after 3 years and want nothing to do with her. She has tried to contact me but has never apologized.

I was betrayed a couple of years back. I was distraught and I really thought my world has ended. But instead of holing up in my room, I decided to face it head on. I cried everytime I felt like crying, admitted to the whole world that I was bitter, cursed them, anything just to get the feelings out. after a while I began to feel better and I'm proud to say I am doing perfectly fine right now. I think I've healed.

Yeah, I have been betrayed and trust me it feels worse! Everything is fine and all of a sudden everything seems so strange, so wrong. When you analyze what actually happened, you get depressed even more. The harder you ponder, the more time it takes to get back to normal. But my friend this is a part and parcel of life the harder you think the worse it gets. I in fact manged the situation pretty well.
