Have any of you stories where you were betrayed by someone? I can't think of one yet.

I couldn't put a smile next to the sentence above, it wouldn't have been appropriate.

But just for the sake of it, here is a smile.

Have any of you stories where you were betrayed by someone?

Sit back everybody and enjoy the ride. This could be interesting.

Who hasn't been betrayed?

The only recent memory I can think of is bymy old boss. I worked hard and tried to improve the school. We went out for drinks a few times and dinner. Then later he tried to screw me for money.

Betrayal? I'd say so.

I don't want to go into it, but I will say that I was his host, and he repaid my hospitality by trying to steal my ship and murder me.

I can't think of any in a traditional sense. But there were plenty of times I was rejected by "friends" that I viewed as a betrayal.

Facebook rejections?

Will you go to heaven
Will you land in hell
Are the things you're praying for
The things that serve you well?

Did you get satisfaction
Have you paid the price
Can you look me in the eye
Say you found paradise?

Betrayal, you are what you choose
Betrayal, got everything to loose
Betrayal, one day you'll know
Betrayal, you reap what you sow

Sell your soul for mercy
Heed the reapers call
Waiting for that heart attack
Your back's against the wall
Stealing from tomorrow
Is no way to live
But when you've got no future
Then there's nothing left to give

Betrayal, you are what you choose
Betrayal, got everything to loose
Betrayal, one day you'll know
Betrayal, you reap what you sow

So when you get to heaven
When you land in hell
Are the things you're praying for
The things that serve you well?

Betrayal, you are what you choose
Betrayal, got everything to loose
Betrayal, one day you'll know
Betrayal, you reap what you sow


An oldie but a goodie.

No, not Facebook.

I have been replaced countless number of times by people cooler than me. Sometimes my "friend" will come back when they fight with the new one (or if they new one is busy.) I don't care.
I wish I had a fair weather friend these days.

I was in a serious motorcycle accident and spent a few weeks in the hospital. My live-in girlfriend of nearly two years, who I had supported financially, emotionally, etc., saw this as a good opportunity to break up with me, with no warning that she was even unhappy.
I had taken a 2nd job so that she could focus her energy on school, and was even on my way to pick her up that day when I had my accident. Yet she thought it ok to abandon me in the hospital and leave me to deal with my recovery alone. My last day in the hospital, she was supposed to show up for my discharge, and never did. I had no keys, wallet, and my phone was dead. I had to walk home from the hospital.
I think I am the winner of this thread.

Heartless. The good thing is you are rid of her.

I am too angry to give details about it: a friend of the family tried to claim my dad's second property holding hobby building project as his own after my dad died, presenting weak photocopy of supposed sale by my dad, the sort of hazy light ink copy that could easily be a cut and paste job, he saying my dad had the original somewhere; another friend close to my dad claimed it was all hogwash, that the thousands I'd been sending home were put into the construction project by my dad to build me a home. Anyways, unclear as this all may seem to you because it's getting me upset just thinking about it. Well, let's just say I now believe anyone is capable of anything, even myself. Friends and neighbours rose up against the swindler and for that I am grateful.

Many years in the far distant past my Korean girlfriend said she loved me. When her dad found out that I was an American she wanted the relationship to end. I felt betrayed.
Girls can do this stuff?

[RMNC]

I'm too good looking and good in bed to be betrayed. Try that, it'll probably help.

My ex, my former boss and just too many people to name.The most recent one that comes to my mind was by some former "Christian friends" whom I had given over 1,000 to for just "because" reasons.I didnt care about geeting the money back, but damn I didn't expect them to just leave me homeless on the streets with NO MONEY AT ALL.
Whatever happened to helping someone?>

Nice, huh? Oh, yeah; I walked home from the hospital with NOTHING.

I've been betrayed majorly on a few occasions. I used to be a really "nice guy" and people kept using me / taking advantage of me / pooping on my face etc. so I wouldn't call myself a "nice guy" any more by a long stretch.

The straw that broke the camel's back and turned me from being a "nice guy" to kind of a a**hole was when I was dating a Korean girl. She was everything I wanted for the entire time I was dating and I was crazy into her. We dated for almost a year.

At the end, I found out she lied about everything. She lied about her age, she lied about her name, she said she lived with her parents when in fact she was married, she lied about where she was often (at the end she confessed to me that all those trips to her grandparent's house in Eonyang on the weekends were actually all night trips to Hongdae/Kangnam night clubs). Up until then I had no sweet clue because I was too trusting and even took her back early in the relationship when I found out she cheated. Stupid, stupid me. I bet she is stringing along a new, gullible foreigner right now so if this story sounds familiar, PM me.

The second worst time that made me a bit jaded was during university. My friend and I were living in another friend's apartment and paying subletting fees. We signed legal documents from the superintendents, delivered to us by our friend who was on the lease, agreeing to pay $400 per month for our sublet (the rent was $1200 and there were three of us). About six months later we were all moving out and my friend whose name was on the lease had already left for a job in Toronto. I was speaking with one of the superintendents about my experiences there. I said that part of the reason I was moving was because $1200 was too high for rent for a three bedroom in that building as it was kind of in a bad area.

Then she told me the total rent was $750. I discovered the forms that my friend had made us sign were fake (he scanned them and adjusted the numbers). The two of us had been paying for his entire rent and giving him $50 a month on top of that. We were pissed but he was already gone. The annoying part is that the guy on the lease had really rich parents who got him a sweet job at a bank while my friend and I were working security for minimum wage.

There were quite a few warning signs but we trusted him. Even when we discovered how cheap he was and how when it was his turn to buy toilet paper, he'd just go steal it from the university, we thought he'd never do something like that on anything major. We were friends, after all. Well, not anymore!

Moral of the story, trust no one unless they really earn it. I used to trust people right away and now it takes people years to earn my trust. I can't enter in a relationship because my last one (Korean girl) screwed me up so bad that I wouldn't be a fair boyfriend. I'd be worrying about them cheating/lying all the time. I haven't been in a relationship in three years because I can't escape the anxiety that the same thing would happen all over again.
