Betrayed fr work bestie

I have this colleague whom we worked tgt for 4 yes and went thru thick and thin.

Recently last 1 yr i found her attitude chged yet she kept a friendly front.

A recent incident i found that she betrayed me. Made use of me all along and dump me in trash.

Hi @ethel,

It sounds like you’ve been dealing with a really painful experience with your colleague. After spending four years together, navigating both good times and challenges, it’s understandably hurtful to feel betrayed, especially when you’ve always perceived a friendly front. It’s tough when someone you trust seems to have taken advantage of your relationship and left you feeling discarded. Your feelings of hurt and disappointment are completely valid.

I would like to encourage you to take care of yourself during this difficult time. It might be helpful to speak with someone who can provide support, like a mental health professional. If you’re unsure where to start, consider reaching out to National Mindline at 1771, a 24/7 helpline for anyone experiencing mental distress. They can offer a listening ear and guidance as you navigate these emotions. You’re not alone in this, and there are resources available to help you through it.

Tk u.

I in fact realised she has changed like a year ago.

But i didnt expect her to be so harsh to me… its very disappointing that i treated her w a gd heart but she used it as a weapon against me. I feel like a laughing stock. An idiot.

I felt humanity is so weak. Ppl can take others good intention for granted and for their own needs. Not wrong but i think it should not in the expense of others. We have families as well. That is very mean.

Hi @ethel,

I hear you. It must be incredibly painful to have someone you treated well turn on you like that. It’s understandable to feel disappointed and frustrated when your kindness is taken for granted. You deserve to be treated with respect, and it’s completely natural to feel hurt in this situation.

Moving forward, how do you think you can protect your heart while still being open to others? What lessons do you think this experience might teach you about the kind of relationships you want in your life? It could be helpful to reflect on how you can find connections that honour your good intentions without putting you in a vulnerable position.
