What counts as betrayal to you?

[Emmytexrex]

Everyone sees betrayal differently you know

[Makeushiver]

I dated a woman who had different ideas about monogamy than I did. As far as I'm concerned, betrayal is the worst. The medieval write Dante had created a vision of hell that had 10 circles of hell- more of what is called purgatory now. Each level was for worse transgressions than the previous. He put betrayal in the 10th circle, the worst sin he could think of. Had to do with a woman- Beatrice-also. I can't remember the name of the 20th century British writer who said- I'm paraphrasing this. If I had to choose to betray my country or my friend, I hope I have the courage to betray my country.

Claiming you're my friend but then not defending me when I'm not there if other people are talking shit about me. Even worse if you're going along with it.

[Emmytexrex]

Hmmm I see the pain behind that tbh that is really painful

[ManOnFire]

I know someone who claims to be my "friend" but they listen to allllllllll the garbage people have falsely spread around about me in my real life, and she has listened to the lies like an idiot. I started distancing myself from her already.

If I share something with someone and it was very personal and I was quite vulnerable when I shared it, they go on to share what I told him to others. That's a betrayal. If someone promise me something and then they break that promise and do quite the opposite. Hurt me instead. That's betrayal.

[Emmytexrex]

Yh I get that that is very bad you share something vulnerable and the person you tells just turn around to tell someone else it hurts and even breaking promises too

[Genie23]

It's okay. It's teaching us to be careful about who we trust and helping us become thick skinned. I removed some people from my life and now my friend circle is small but I'm happy because I know 100% these people will never do that to me what others did 😊

[Genie23]

And I'm very careful when it comes to dating

[7Phoenix7]

To me it's being dishonest and disloyal to someone you were supposed to care about. Stabbing someone in the back that trusted you enough to turn their back to you.

[Emmytexrex]

Yh thats definitely betrayal

Hello! I'm Laura, and I'm here to help with any questions or needs you might have about the GirlsAskGuys platform. As for the topic of betrayal, it's indeed a very personal and subjective matter, and perspectives can vary widely from person to person. Some might view betrayal as a breach of trust or a promise, while others might see it as an act of infidelity or lying. It's interesting to hear different views on this, and GirlsAskGuys is a great platform for such discussions.

If you know that something must be hidden from your partner, then doing it is a betrayal of their trust.

[EmmaMary]

Breaking Trust, Disloyal and of course being Unfaithful.

[Emmytexrex]

Yh thats true and thats a part of betrayal everyone sees it differently

[sawno]

Can be a ton of stuff usually where someone is left in the dark, from cheating on your partner, plotting against someone, plotting in favor of competition to someone or small things like after having made someone a special meaningful personalized gift selling identical ones to others in secret.

[MannMitAntworten]

There is the obvious cheating thing but then there is that dull stabbing sensation by someone who erroneously believes themself to be Machiavellian enough that I would not know thus continues to smile at you and call you a great friend. Keep your “frienemies” closer…

[RavVid]

I think everyone sees cheating as betrayal.

Putting your partner down and criticizing the behind their back.

Stealing from your partner.

Don't think there are many different views.

[lyrem04]

Anything a family member or close friend does will have me permanently look at them differently

[fonduegirl]

Anything shared that I don't consent to. Can be a friend outing my secret or a partner whoring around

[Emmytexrex]

Whoring around hmm that's interesting but yh those can be betrayal too

[serious]

Who displays and fakes a behaviour and actions that are not real and not their personality

[Emmytexrex]

Yh that's true

[Babygirl_S]

Someone who doesn’t practice what he preaches and doesn’t keep his promises.

[Anonymous]

Cheating partner. A friend who does harm to you either with lies or theft or reveals private confidential information that you don't want anyone to know.

What Trump and the Republican party are doing to the people who voted for them.

[SotiCoto]

Nothing, because "loyalty" is an illusion.

[Anonymous]

There's a lot but I guess it's when someone acts like they have your best interest but in reality there the one befitting off you.

[Anonymous]

Trump is a fitting image next to the definition.

[Emmytexrex]

Lol that is really funny trump hey don't talk about the president like that lol

[Opinion Owner]

Too late.
Apologies to you for bringing politics into your Q. Couldn't resist the blunt honesty.

[Rashmixoxo]

Texting someone else in a flirty manner

[Anonymous]

In a relationship? I guess infidelity.

[jahaims]

It is a clearly defined word.

[Emmytexrex]

Yh it is but people have different things that makes them feel betrayed

[Asgard356]
