Dear @cozypigeon4914

Thank you for writing in to share what you are going through. Being betrayed by a close friend and then feeling like your partner doesn’t trust you is certainly painful. Anyone in your position would feel hurt and overwhelmed.

May I gently encourage you to have a calm conversation with your partner and explain how this situation has affected you. Let him know you want to rebuild trust. I have seen that a relationship can only work if both people are willing to listen and try. Respect and honesty must be mutually practised.

I think you deserve to feel valued and believed by the person you love. If your partner keeps treating you like you’re not special, that’s something that needs to be addressed preferably through a therapist.

Take care of your own well-being too while you go through this difficult period. I think protecting your peace and setting boundaries with the person who has spread hurtful lies is an important and necessary step to take immediately. Please be kind to yourself always. :yellow_heart:

Hi there, thank you for sharing something so personal. I’m really sorry you’re going through something so painful. Being betrayed by someone you trusted and feeling like your partner believes others over you can hurt deeply. It makes sense that you feel wounded and confused, especially when you’ve been trying to hold onto the relationship and your feelings for them. Carrying all that pain by yourself is incredibly heavy.

Sometimes when trust gets damaged from lies, misunderstandings, or actions on both sides, it can change how people treat each other. What matters now is whether there is still honest communication and willingness from both of you to repair things. You deserve to be heard and taken seriously. If it feels possible, try having a calm and open conversation with your partner about how all of this has affected you and what you need in order to feel respected and valued again.

At the same time, it’s important to remember that a relationship should not make you feel constantly small, ignored, or unimportant. Your feelings matter, and you deserve to be treated with care and trust. If your partner continues to dismiss you or refuses to work on rebuilding that trust together, it may be worth gently reflecting on whether this relationship is giving you the respect and emotional safety you deserve.

For now, try not to carry this alone. Talking with a trusted friend, family member, or counselor can help you process the hurt and think more clearly about your next steps. You’ve already endured a lot, and you deserve support, honesty, and love that doesn’t make you feel invisible:)

hii, i’m really sorry you’re going through this. being betrayed by childhood friends, who are people you probably grew up with and have known all your life, then having your partner believe the rumours instead of trusting you, sounds absolutely terrible.

i think the biggest thing here is trust. if someone keeps believing other people over you and it starts to feel like you have to keep proving yourself, it just feels like like they dont trust u :frowning:

maybe u can sit down with your partner and have a serious talk about how both of you want to progress forward, and you could tell them about how they might be hurting you by giving off the impression that they dont trust u.

in the end, if your partner still chooses to treat you like youre not important, it makes sense to protect yourself. it might be useful to keep in mine that u dont have to force yourself to stay in the relationship.
