i would just end it. if they will do it once they'll do it again. u don't need friends like that. they weren't ur friend to start with.

Hi Sisco, I have had this happen to me and it caused a lot of hurt and upset to my children too as mummys friend was suddenly living with daddy. I have forgiven but for my own sake as I don't want to be eaten up with anger and bitterness but there is no way I will ever let her into my life again as a friend, she just cannot be trusted and once the trust has been broken that is so hard to rebuild. Every situation is fifferent though and if i is something they were supposed to have said it may have been taken out of context and not meant that way but anything else I would end it. Ellie :D

It's a hard question . I have many friends, and my best friend are only two . My friend may stab me in the back , but my best friend never do this . I think if my best friend stab me in the back , I will never make friends with him ever . Because I cann't stand betrayer . And for me I will never stab my best friend in the back ,if he do something wrong , I will tell him .

i would have to agree with you on that. i dont think i could trust someone who stabbed me in the back. it just show that person cant be trusted with anything and even worthy of my friendship.
best friends are people that you can trust with everything even your life. once that trust is gone it kinda hard to make it better and go back to the way thing were.

ya you can always forgive some one. for me it would depend on how they stabbed me in the back that would determin if i forgive them or not.
i know that i would have a very hard time being friends with them. once any one has lost my trust its hard to impossible to get it back again, because i'm always going to be think are they going to do it agian.

I don't think I can end the friendship but she wouldn't be my best friend after that. A real friend will always be considerate of your feelings and disposition and would be behind you, supporting you as long as your principles are aligned with each other. However, if you were going against your friend's principles then I doubt if you would still be considered as real friends.
I let go of friends whom I feel would corrupt my principles, people whom I think would not help me grow as a person. Of course I confront them first and make sure that I do everything I can to salvage the friendship.
For friends who do stab me in the back in its purest sense - in a way that based on my principles I am confident that I was right and they were wrong, I'd cut the crap. We would no longer be best friends (for obvious reasons), but we'd probably be more distant friends - polite, until time heals the wounds and brings us to a more mature state of mind.

if they did something really bad i would just cut ties and get away from them.. i dont need negative people in my life and anything to make my life harder.. in most cases i forgive but if its some one close to me and something bad there is no hope.. i never forget so it being so hurtful i would never be able to fully forgive..
