The eternal chase.

just want to say this before i start on the chalet proposal((:

so you've been betrayed by the one friend you thought was your soul mate and confidante. A violation of trust- especially by a close friend- can sometimes cause even more trauma than a philandering boyfriend. After all, the debris of many a broken relationship has eventually been cleared over endless tubs of chocolate ice cream and the undying support of your best friend. But who do you turn to when the hurt was caused by that very best friend herself?

With realisation hitting you like a ton of bricks, you would probably start to doubt your self worth. Frantic questions like "Did i deserve this?" or "Why would she do this to me?" would probably pop in your head every ten seconds.
A word of advice, as much as you feel that the world is turning its back on you, remember that no amount of skewed logic could justify one human being spitefully backstbbing another- let alone a trusted friend.
don't wallow in self-pity or, worse still, blame yourself. If there's anyone you need to be on your side, it should be you. Take a step back, assess the situation logically, and keep your cool.

Screaming at your backstabber might seem a very attractive option to vent your anger and disappointment- unfortunately, although intensely satisfying, it may not be the most mature of reactions.
Take a deep breath and take some time to think about it: if someone could bring themselves to betray you to a point where you feel this horrible, are they really worth keeping as a friend? You would be a much happier person without such people in your lives.
Once you have acknowledged this fact, you can concentrate on fixing more important things.What has the backstabbing drama done to you? Has it affected your reputation? It would be better to focus your energy on clarifying matters with people who truly matter.

if there are still remnants of the relationship you feel deserve to be salvaged and worked out, the honest upfront method is the way to go. Never get back at her using the same underhanded means employed, as that would only lower you to her level.
Instead, choose to broach the subject directly, yet keep an open mind as she explains herself. You never know- the real situation could be very different from you've been hearing.

Allowing ourselves to wallow in momentary self-pity is completely fine, but take example from other people who moved on to better things.Getting backstabbed sure is a horrid experience, but it is not the end of the world. Take heart that there are many things to learn from it and use them to better ourselves and prove that we will not make the same mistake as those who might have wronged us.

just thought that this could help people in understanding backstabbing and friendships better..
