When I divorced my husband of 12 years, I was so depressed. My friend Ava took me in. She saved my life. 8 years later, I ran into my ex. The first thing he asked: “Are you still friends with Ava?” I nodded. He smirked. He said, “So you still don’t know that she’s the one who ruined our marriage?” I froze when he revealed that the woman he’d had a brief affair with—the one that led to our divorce—was Ava. It turns out Ava had felt so guilty for destroying my marriage that she tried to make it up to me. She wanted to do something good, so she made sure I was okay and asked me to move into her house. My whole reality crumbled. Never in a million years would I have suspected that, behind my back, she was with my husband—while pretending to be the perfect friend. Now, I’ve lost my trust in everyone.
Story 2:
I had two people who I thought were really good friends. One day, I was hanging out with one of them, and we were about to go out, so she was fixing her makeup. Being too busy to text our other friend about our plans, she asked me to do it. While texting, I accidentally scrolled up into their previous messages and saw them talking absolute trash about me. They were making fun of things I had said, sharing my pictures and mocking them, and just all sorts of mean-spirited stuff. I never brought it up. Thankfully, we later had a falling out, and I don’t associate with them anymore. © margaret0619 / Reddit
Story 3:
I had a close friend I vented to about everything—work, relationships, family. He always listened, never judged. But then people I barely knew started repeating details from my life. Turns out, he was sharing my stories to build connections with others. It made him look wise and thoughtful. He never used names, but the stories were clearly mine. When I confronted him, he acted like it wasn’t a big deal. It felt like he was using my life as his personal PR. After that, I stopped telling him anything personal.
