Hi guys, I’m just here to rant about how I got betrayed by a good friend or so I thought. After I ended my 5-year relationship due to cheating and domestic violence, I wanted to give another relationship a try many months after. This guy has been my friend for about 4 years and he even knew what I went through in my previous relationship. I didn’t want to give him a chance because I was scared it might not work. I didn’t want to lose him as my friend, but then he kept pestering me and telling me how he had always loved me all this while. My friends also encouraged me to give him a try, they said if I didn’t date my friend, would I have dated a stranger, and that it was much easier considering the fact that we already knew about ourselves. It was good in the first two months, sweet I thought, and yes, I was happy he was the one, that he was my answered prayer and even blamed myself for not seeing him all this while as a sweet soul. Only for him to ghost me after two months of being in the relationship, blaming it on the fact that he had issues at work and wasn’t in the right state of mind. Prior to this time, I noticed the distance, I reached out many times, I encouraged him, I even gave him a loan to help ease the tension. But he ghosted me, he went silent, he would even view my status. One month later, he came apologizing. He has refunded my loan but I’m hurt, very hurt. I thought he was my friend but then I realized he might not have been a friend in the first place. I already cut him off. I just want my peace. I just hope I handled the situation well.
