You can't. You might still have a friendship, but on matters that require trust you would not be able to extend it.

Best freind, you are saying? He will not be my best friend anymore. I could be harsh when it comes to betrayal. Anyone who betrays me is no longer a friend of mine. If he is no longer a friend, there is no more trust. That's me. Hope I have not frightened you :P

It depends on situation. May be at certain situation, the betrayal would be acceptable.
For normal friends or good friends, may be you can still forgive them at the first betrayal. Some people are selfish or self center, and we can't expect a 100% loyalty from them. However, for husband and bf, I think it is very difficult to trust them anymore if they betray/cheat on you.

a few years ago i thought i can never trust my friend again. but i was wrong.
after 2 years of not seeing each other, i ended up trusting that person again. he slowly regained my trust in him.

Well I guess I could still trust her/him but it wont be that easy. And I don't think and I can give my 100% trust again to that certain person,never.Because I would always have it at the back of my mind that this certain person once has betrayed me,so no matter how deep our friendship was before,I would still find it hard to give back my 100% trust.Im only human,yes I can forgive,but I don't think it would be really that easy to forget.The pain that it cause me could go away in time,but the memory of what has been done won't easily fade in my mind.

i think it depends upon the reason of his/ her betrayal..and it will also depend on you on how youre gonna treat the betrayal.. if your the kind of person that is can easily forgive, then its possible that in due time, your gonna give your trust again.. but if your the type of person that doesnt give chances anymore, then goodbye to your friendship.. well thats life.

It'd be a tough situation for me... my best friend is someone I trust more than anyone else in the world. But when you break a trust like that, it shatters bigger than your relationships with other people because of how strong that relationship is supposed to be.
I don't know, it would have to depend on the situation. I would definitely be willing to work on it, provided my best friend was able to explain the situation and we could find some common ground to work it out with. There would be a lot of repair involved, but it could be done.

Well, since my hubby is my best friend, I would say no, I would never be able to trust him if he betrayed me. He wouldn't ever hurt me though, he loves me too much.

I have been betrayed one too many time by so-called friends. I really do not have any real friends other than my husband. I can't trust people. I have tried several times and they stab me in the back each and every time. I want to have friends and I want to be able to trust them, but I can't. I have tried so many time and I lose thier friendship and i can no longer trust them. It is sad, but people do not value others any more like they should. A true friend would never do something to hurt the other one, is the way I see it.

well, I will not trust him any more, but before this I think I will talk to him about events happen!

You know it really hurts to be betrayed by your own friend. If you ask me if I have to trust her again, no way! He or she can be my casual friend but she can no longer have my trust back.

considering someone as my bestfriend is sometimes hard for me. it would need a long period of time to consider someone to be my best friend. it's really tough if someone i really really trust would betray me. i'm thinking "betrayal in what way?" in spilling my secrets to people who are not supposed to know? maybe i would really be angry with the person. i would ask her/him to explain why she did it and i guess, that would depend on the answer. but i could no think of a situation wherein she would have no choice but spill the beans. there are a lot of ways for someone to betray someone.. and it would really depend on how and why. i guess, she would still be my friend but not the best.
