Reactions to Betrayal

Have you ever experienced being betrayed once in your life? Once in your lives you might have. Would it be possible to share how you have reacted? I know I was tolerant. I've dealt with it in silence. I'm the kind of person who avoids confrontations. I feel like when everything is revealed there is no sense of asking questions that the current situation haven't answered. I believe at the back of our minds we already know the answers. How about you?

I guess we are the same. I also avoid confrontations. I haven't experienced grave betrayal. I only experienced being betrayed at the office. I am working in a government office. I was involved in intrigues wherein the person whom I considered my friend said something to my immediate supervisor that cause our immediate supervisor to get angry with me. I really don't know what was her intention in doing that to me. When she already resigned, I was relieved. Then she is already forgotten. Seeing her again is not exciting. She's not worthy of my thoughts.

@geizshan Before my supposed friend resigned, just like you I still talked to her about work. But when she left, it was so easy for me to forget her.

Had the same experience. But I still work with that person now. I just treat her like she doesn't exist. I am civil when I need to talk to her about work and that's it.

Betrayed by my friend several years ago. After finding out, I never spoke to her again. After three years, i sent her a message telling her I want peace and that it didn't matter who made the mistake. I felt good afterwards. Baggage unloaded.

@geizshan In time, you can forgive and maybe forget

@toniganzon I hope. My mama keeps telling me it's not good to hold on to anger. I'm not nursing the anger but I just can't bring myself to talk to the person

I think that's one of my flaws. I prefer to be totally strangers to the person who betrayed me. This way I can be civilized. I still work with this person. And it's been two years since I have learned that I was betrayed.

Yes i have been betrayed several times by persons whom i care for. I was depressed for several months and lost a lot of weight. Full recovery is a long process.

I have experienced betrayed many times from many types of people and handled each time differently. One of the worst was my soon-to-be-ex-husband's betrayal. I won't go into detail on it but he was a compulsive liar and unfaithful. I was tolerant and tried to work through things the whole year we were together but things just weren't able to be worked through. We split up when he realized he would never be able to stay true to me and decided to break me down the best way he could and hurt me as much as possible. He then got on a bus and disappeared for a while leaving everything to me. Abandoned... This was in 2012 and I have not see him since. I've spoken to him on rare occasions for short periods of time trying to get the divorce handled but it has been difficult. I am still working on this process. Hope this fulfilled your purpose of this discussion :D Have a blessed day/night!

That's choosing a flight reaction. My friend once told me I'm that way too. I have four brothers, three of them are older than me. My only sister-in-law called me to tell me that my second older brother is having an affair. I remember getting on a plane to see this brother of mine and beat him up. I stayed till I talk some sense to him. Having three older brothers have exposed me to different women experiences. I feel sorry for them cause they have only showed my brothers love but they ended up being betrayed and broken. I've seen some pick up the pieces of what's left for them and emerge to be a wiser and stronger. I hope the same for you. I won't wish for anything grand for but I will wish you all the strength to go through a rollercoaster ride called life.

@geizshan thank you :) but I'm already a stronger and wiser person without him! The only thing left for me is to find a way to sever this tie so I can finally fully move on with my life! It's good of you to want to help out the women when your brothers do the things they do. You're a great person!

@JustAGirlCalledBrit most women gain bad judgment cause they can handle issues like that in a way that they appear to be the bad person. I know this cause I've seen it. That is why my friends are getting married and I'm always asking them if they are already sure. I hope you get what you want asap. People who loves you are waiting for you to be able to soar when you get that freedom.
