Betrayal from a friend vs Betrayal from a lover or partner? Which one is worse?

For me I would say friend


While a partner would sting a lot as well


A long term friend is supposed to be there for you through everything


In my mind: if a friend has eaten food that my mom has made then he’s been welcomed as part of my chosen tribe
And that bond has to mean something


Now I’m not naive either: many people take friendships lightly and put themselves first even when they’re being harmful
It is what it is


But I still prefer to live a life where loyalty and allegiance mean something
And of course it’s a two way street

hmm, interesting...

I guess that it would be worse coming from a lover... since they have been both lovers and friends to me, so that's "twice" as much? lol

however, my friends... they've been with me even for decades so... losing that, I imagine would hurt a whole whole lot

[IslaTheWitch]

my partner has my complete trust... my feelings... his betrayal is the worst thing that can happen...

from another perspective... I have known my best friend for 40 years... if he ever betrayed me... I'm not sure if I would survive it...

A partner. That's a deeper connection with more direct risks

[moneymagnet24]

Maam have you ever faced betrayed?

[Agape93]

None of your business

Betrayal bites, whether from a friend or a lover. But, oh, those lover betrayals can really sting! When your partner pulls a ghosting act or showcases some red flags, it can feel like your heart's been tangoed on! 😂 Friendship betrayals hurt, too, but when love's involved, emotions ride a rollercoaster. After all, you’ve shared those deep, intimate moments with a partner. Either way, it’s about rebuilding that trust. Remember, you're stronger than you think! 💪💕

Both the same to be honest , Betrayal from a lover , or a close friend hurts pretty much the same way because you trusted and respected them the same way you thought they felt about you.

Betrayal from a friend would be worst!.. Considering the Fact that my true friends are all Man.. I generally don't do friends with women!..

Betrayal from My partner is what I would expect, As I am a straight Guy, so my partner will be a Women and women have a tendency to be Disloyal and aren't much Trustworthy!..

I would say from a friend, from a partner you might expect it, from a friend you might not.

Real friends don't betray, and they are there for you forever.

This is a good question. I guess a betrayal from a friend. Lovers come and go but in this life we do not get many real friends.

[ChicoFromThe305]

betrayal of a friend is far easier to accept than a partner since you show a part of you to a partner that not even your friends see.

[msg321]

If your partner is your girlfriend/boyfriend then betrayal from a close friend may be worse but if you are married I think betrayal from your husband/wife could be worse.

[NewestOdium]

Arguably from a lover as you would be putting the greatest amount of trust in them.

[moneymagnet24]

Betrayed from yourself is most dangerous Betrayed ever...

[Dreamclouds]

Clearly lover partner since soul connection is a lot more intense

[masterSir]

lover, you're supposed to be able to trust them with anything.

[Anonymous]

I never had a lover/partner, so I can't compare.

[Akashrangwani1997]

Whoever is closer to you and knows more about you will be worse off

[Nikki1989]

A partner would be far worse.

[jahaims]

Obviously from a spouse

Friend
