Why are people so bent on pulling you down?

One night I was with one of my closest friends I'll call her Ria. Now this story is a sequel to leo and chrisy's story. Anyways, Ria and I have always been so close. On that night she started to cry, she said she could no longer keep a secret from me. She told me that during Leo and Chrisy's relationship, Chrisy slept with some other guy. Someone from the state university. I cried along with her. I was sad because Leo was my childhood friend. And he was a good man. I also cried because Chrisy is a good friend of mine. The following day Chrisy went to my house, I was sick. I asked her who the guy was. She told me he was nothing. Just a crush. Just a friend. I was furious. I asked her if anything happened between them. She said nothing happened. I could feel my blood boiling. I told her I knew, I told her I knew and that I just wanted to hear it from her. She said nothing happened. I could feel my blood all boiling, I could feel the adrenalin. I could feel my anger. I kept asking her and she kept lying. She would tell me half truth and half lies. I was fed up I dragged her down stairs where some of my other friends were. And then and there I asked her again and yet she kept insisting on lying to my face. At the end of the day she told me she would tell me but that she needed time. Time?? I was so mad that I told her to get out of my house. I could feel all my emotions flowing out, the anger, the betrayal was too much for me. She was out of my life. I felt better. I told myself that I don't need friends who will betray me, who would lie to my face. Keeping a secret is one thing, and it doesn't really bother me, if I'm not included. What hurt me was the fact that she lied to my face. For me lying was a crime against friendship. For me lying was an unforgivable act. Because friendship is all about trust and bonds. Lying contradicst everything I believe friendship stood for. I was talking to my friend Myks, she's a girl. She told me that yes Chrisy made a mistake. But she also said I made a mistake as well. She told me Chrisy was wrong to have done what she did. But she told me I had gone too far, and that I overdid it. I don't understand how so. It was an unforgivable act. Chrisy told me she loved Leo, Leo was my childhood friend, and then I find out she's been sleeping with other men? And then she lies to my face? How could I not over do it? My question is, Do you think I over did it? why are people so bent on pulling you down when you're up?
