True friends are hard to find and even harder to keep but if your friendship was molded
through the years, it should be strong enough to stand the tests of time. Despite the supposed strength, however, betrayal still occurs. Betrayal of friends in itself is painful, but it is more painful when the betrayal was borne from gossips and cheap plots.
We all experience situations like this, we all have our share of being betrayed, in its many different forms. Sometimes, the amount of effort we put into our friendship, unfortunately is greater than what the other person gives. We literally give our all - our time, effort, energy and resources in the hope that this is well enough to keep the friendship rolling. Still in the end, all these are turned to naught.
These people we consider friends still betray us.
Coping up with friends' cheating is quite hard, more so if you have no fault of yours. But, life goes on and you make new friends. You push away your hurtful past and learn a valuable lesson from it.
If the friendship is not working for you anymore, there is no reason for you to keep going back for more. Dragging along a friendship you know you are no longer comfortable with has no point at all.
End it politely and quickly and most importantly, don't regret your action. Leave behind these fair-weather friends - they are not worth keeping. There will be hesitations at first and although you have all the right to vent on your frustration, learn to come to terms with reality.
If you feel you are up the creek without a paddle, get out and swim for the shore - you'll be surprised to know that there is one true friend there reaching out for your hand!
