A friend’s betrayal

A friend’s betrayal

By Miss Kes 

Betrayal is not an easy street to walk, but truth is, many couples struggle with this. Whether it’s the betrayal of trusted friend, a lover, or family, the loss of trust can cut deep.

Here’s a scenario: A friend tells your guy all your secrets, made up and real, and the man believes what he heard and uses it against you. Which one of them would you cut out of your life?

Munchie:

Truth is, I would drop them both. No true friend of mine would do that, and then if my man is so eager to listen to gossip to disrespect me and belittle me, that is not a relationship suited for me. So I would rather live without both people.

Marie:

Definitely the friend. If I trust you with my secrets, I would have trusted you deeply, so if you cut my throat by telling my man everything, I would rather part company with that person. And if she went all out to do that, clearly she is  jealous of what I have and that is another prime reason for me to distance myself. I can understand the man and how he would react because it would be based on what the friend shared.

SK:

I would stay far away from them both because they would both deserve each other. Funny enough, I had a similar experience where a so-called friend told my man some things I shared with her in confidence and that put a serious pause on that relationship. You just have to be really careful about what you share with people these days.

JG:

I would drop them both because both are like Judas. I would rather not have them in my life.

MJ:

A friend caused me my relationship a couple years ago when I told her about my infidelity years before I actually met my man. She went and told him how I’d cheated on my man before him and he actually used that as a means to end our relationship. I was about to get married and had to call off everything. She said she was drunk and was not sure what she told him. It was a real mess.
