Will you still trust a friend who once betray or lie to you?

..how deep is the betrayal..? for me, I could still trust a friend but not much or not the same as I've trusted her before.. it will be harder to be betrayed the second time around.. we can still be friends but not too close.. there will already be secrecy that will happen.. I won't entrust all my hopes, dreams, thoughts and plans to her..

I would have trouble doing that. I think trust is very importatnt in a friendship and if you cant believe someone you are not able to really be friends with them. How cand you trust what they are saying and doing. It is very important to be able to dot this. You need this from a friend.

If they betray you once, they most likely will betray you again. If they betray you, they don't deserve to be your friend.

I can forgive, but never again will I call him/her my best friend, because once that trust has been betrayed, it can never be repaired. Now we can be friends again, but on a different level. Never again can we be intimate friends. That has been destroyed. I feel that I can no longer be transparent with you again. It would basically be a wrap.

hey thanks for the best response mark... really appreciate it !

it's not hard to gain a person's trust but once you've lost it, it's hard to earn it again... that person will always look at you differently because you have betrayed them. i could still trust someone who lied or betrayed me, but not to the same degree of trust like before.... i will always remember what he or she has done to me before. It's hard to forgive and forget.

depends on the level and cause of betrayal. If they lie to you to protect you, it's fine. If they lie to you for their own sake, it's not forgivable. Friends are there to be with you through thick and thin. If they leave you when you need them, they are not your friends.
