Would you forgive your friend, if for a long time she had this huge crush on your boyfriend or husband and she wanted to be with him so badly she would do whatever it took to get him away from you. Even if it meant hiring someone to kidnap you and cause harm to you so she could be a lone with your man while you were out of the picture. Could you ever forgive your friend would you ever trust her again. I don't think I could ever forgive my friend for doing that and trust I would never trust them again and that friendship would be way over.

OH heck no I wouldn't want to be friends with that kind of women ever again at all. If that is how someone wants to be then I wouldn't want them as my friend any more. I also wouldn't trust her either.

Exactly the moment I knew it was her who did all that to me she would lose my friendship completely. I couldn't trust her any more.

Trusting people these days can be hard so something like this it would take lots of time to very want to trust them once again. Mostly likely I would never be friends with them every again nor see them again.

About your discussion, a friend like that is not a true friend, if she is your friend, then she would never take anything that is important to you especially your boyfriend or husband. Doing something bad against you is not right.. She must be out of her mind, and is not thinking right..

Yep, I totally agree any friend that would do that to you just to hurt you is not a good friend after all. And would be way out of her mind to do anything like this.

In this situation,it is possible to forgive,if you want to go religious.It is only a religious mind that can forgive anybody that does such a treacherous acts.Let us face the fact and not make pretensions.I will in the name of my belief forgive but certainly we can never be friends but just an acquaintance because a friend is somebody who protects your interest in the first place.Any person who has brought such emotional turmoil is not qualified to be your friend.Forgive yes, but do not forget and do not touch such a person with a ten foot pole.Do you know why you have to forgive.It brings release to your soul and it is healthy to your emotion besides you free yourself so that you can move ahead.

hi, for me i think it will depend upon the situation if i can forgive my friend easily or it will need a long run,and aside from that we can forgive but we can never return the trust that we put in a friendship once it destroyed.if that will happen to me it will takes time before i can completely forgive her but i will never ever trust him and her again.

I might forgive her, she might have had her own reasons for what she did. But I would not trust her. I think when you forgive some one it means that you can go on. Sometimes forgiveness leads to closure. When you find closure, you can then move on. Trusting some one on the other had is a betrayal, you can forgive a person but that doesn't necessarily mean you can trust them. Think of it like this, you are the better person, you have the man!

That is so true forgiving is something that should be done as well and just move on from it. But to trust again, nope not possible, to not trust that person.

Well,it really feels bad to have a friend like that but I can forgive her.I have a friend who have a great crush to my boyfriend but she did not do any harsh things like kidnapping but she is chatting to my boyfriend.My boyfriend told that she is still totally in to him.I just ignored it and I still talk and invite her.Then one funny thing is that when I my friend treated us,we are talking about our ex.Then she is denying that my boyfriend became her ex.My boyfriend is her first boyfriend and to think that I saw their conversation in facebook.

I think its right to forgive. Its just the best thing to do.

I don't think that people can help the way they feel about others, so I would be able to forgive her for having a crush. However, if she acted on that crush then that is something that I would never be able to forgive her for. One of the things that happened to me when I was younger was that I fell in love with my best friend's boyfriend, and I had to make a very hard decision about what to do about it. I decided that I wouldn't act on it, and it ruined several years of my life, but I acted that way because I was a good person and wouldn't have wanted to hurt my friend's feelings.

For some, its very easy to say the word but for others its not. I think forgiving is one of the hardest thing a person could do to others. And the other important thing that losses when someone betrays you is trust. One may learn to forgive but trust cannot be given easily. A person who committed a mistake would have a hard time earning the trust to the other person. trust should be earned and is one of the basic foundation of a relationship.

If someone has a crush on someone (your bf/husband or who ever) there is nothing you can change about that. Also there is no reason to forgive since having a crush are feelings. Feelings come (and go) and this is out of the hands. What is in our own hands is the way you deal with these feelings. You can try to ignore them, stay out of the way, talk about it, or like your friend do everything what is possible to get what you want. If you decide to do that it means (in your case) your friend doesn't care about your friendship. The friendship you two have and is willing to give that all up. If so that is her choice but it would also mean to me that I don't want to be friends with that person anymore. She proved already that our friendship doesn't mean anything to her. So why sticking together if she later on finds out her feelings are not right or she can not get what she wants? I don't like to be dumped as a good friend or be second choice. This is not about forgiving or trust but about a person who told and showed you she doesn't care about your friendship, that it means nothing to her.

Trust is one thing but forgiving is another story , although they share a couple of things in common, they both need to be worked on and it takes time to build that relationship again...Forgiving is essential part of or lives and withoutit it's hard to live our life the way God intended it to be.. Depending on the situation and what how deep the would is,You have to do some soul searching whether or not the friendship can be salvage. It takes a lot of strength out of a person to take a person back after a betrayal..I would say a prayer and ask God for guidance..
