It really hurts when some good people that you know betrays you because of money. Well I guess, regardless of the reason... it really hurts when someone betrays you. On the other hand, I am thankful that I was able to see the true colors of these people. Have you experienced this?

Yes, it really hurts and many times I have been hurt but when someone ask my help for financial assistance i always forget these bad experiences and still allow myself to be taken for granted when payment time comes. Maybe because I never learn my lessons and I am a weak person when i see somebody badly in need.

Sadly enough I think most of us have felt this way at one time or other in our lives. I am sorry to hear that you got betrayed because of "money", that seems so pathetic and sad. People sooner or later always show their true colors. Is your computer fixed or are you still going to an internet cafe?

We all have experienced this. I mean money is the most common thing in the world and perhaps all people from all walks of life have heard about "money" and its power and uses... :)

Yes, as it is quoted, the root of all evil is money so people have put money ahead of their integrity.

yes it really hurts when good people you know betrays you for money. my family has experienced it once. well, the pain is doubled because he was no less than a relative in my family. we always good to him, very respect him because he is we can considerate as the wisest-or-he-should-have-been we thought, but then he betrayed us in the way we can not forget it for the rest of our lives.

that's right. well, he didn't borrow us any money, he just sold our land. the land that belonged to my mother. at least now we know what that person really thinks of us. I thought he didn;t consider us as much as we do to him. what a pity for my family to have such relative.

Yeah its happened to me a few times. I hated the reasons that they did it at the times, and it really put a hurting on me each time. I hope it never happens again to me, but there is a lot of days still left. My last time was more betrayed by a co-worker. Basically asked me to borrow $600 around tax time to get her kid out of jail. I felt sympathy for her and her son. Loaned her the money. A few days later I go in to work and find out I am being terminated. Something smelled fishy right there. She said she would get it back to me, and well slowly she started avoiding my calls. Somewhere in me though, I still have a little hope that I will get a letter in the mail with the money. For this wish I'm not holding my breathe.

This is one of the sad part of betrayal...money. It's really sad when someone we trusted, love and even cared betray us just because of money. I've met few people who did same thing and I am sad because I trusted them. They are my friends...now they're gone. have a good day

Sure! Friend's betrayal is the most hurtful things. Moreover if it comes to our best friends, who did it to us. And I am agree that the sooner the better to know the colors of these people. I believe everyone of us, got betrayed by our friends, best friends, sometimes even our own siblings betrayed us. There's nothing we can do, that's life. The best we can do isn't planning revenge, but to walk away. Fool me once, shame on you.. Fool me twice, shame on me.. So, why should we stay with someone who betrayed us? Just move on and stay positive. :)

I am suffering financially because of this experience. It is a bad experience but I'm struggling to get out of it. I'm praying to God to shed light to her mind and let her too find a good fortune so she could pay me. This is what's making me restless this days...

Hi! The love of money is indeed the root of evil.People can do a lot of good or bad things because of money. Betrayal is really painful but I hope you will be able to cope with it.

Yes, I know what you means, especially if the ones who betrays you are your friends or you thought them as real friends and you trust them and it all affects you so much when they betray you.

It's always hard and painful if people you think you can trust betray you. No matter if it's about money or something else. Yes you could say you are thankful you see their true colours but that is not much worth. It's what we say to see something positive in bad things happend to us. Since if those people never betrayed us we never saw their true colors and we never mind about that either or? Grateful or happy we should be if we teached them a lesson. The kind of lesson they would learn from and we can be sure about they will never betray anyone else the way they did us. If we are not able to do that, to make them change and learn that what they do is wrong, make them feel how it is to be betrayed, to raise them same way we do with kids, there is nothing to be thankful about. You just lost again and they go on abusing other people.

My husbands always says to me that "do not trust anyone" and this of course mainly for money. I hated it when someone on my friends wanted to borrow money and you cannot say no, and after that she keeps on avoiding me. Now that friend of mine is now a stranger to me. And I understand how you feel, let the karma pays him and for you hope it'll return more.

I am fortunate enough to be able to say I have not experience such a thing. But I have a friend who once did. His girlfriend convinced him to giver her all his banking information including his pin, claiming that she wanted to just know they could trust each other. She went all out to trick him. Even gave all information to a decoy bank account before requesting that he tell a thing. When she took all his money, he investigated into it, and though there really was a bank account that fit all that information, it was empty. Fortunately she wasn't smart enough to use a fake name, so the police caught her and got the money back in less than a week. It would have been sooner, but my friend didn't even notice the money was gone until 2 days after it was taken, and didn't contact the police for another 24 hours after that. So it all ended up okay, but my friend sure is a lot more careful with that type of personal information now.
