“Absolutely Heartbreaking”: 50 Times People Did Something So Awful, Their Friend Turned On Them

My former best friend , of over 6 years, hit up my ex girlfriend the day we broke up. He sent her a DM asking if she wanted to “hangout at his house” (parents but wtv). At the time he also had a girlfriend, who was pregnant with his kid. My ex hit me and his girlfriend up with the messages. My ex and his girlfriend decided to go together at his place and expose him.

I didn’t want to do with any of that but I didn’t want anything to happen to either of the girls. So we show up, his mom greets us and let’s us in, as soon as he saw us 3 he knew that his s**t was up but acted all surprised. We told him we knew, he kept defending his case by saying his little brother (who was f*****g 6) sent my ex those messages.

Well to make a long story short, his pregnant girlfriend left him, he’s currently paying child support, he also moved out of the state like a month later. My ex and I are back together and 3 months into our marriage.

My husband had a best friend. Been friends for over a decade. He asked his best friend to be his best man at our wedding. He agreed. Then a two weeks before our wedding he asked if he could bring a date. We were puzzled as we didn't think he'd been dating anyone. So we inquired and were like "sure." Turns out it was one of our mutual friend's wife he was banging. We all hated her anyway, but him wanting to bring her as his date was the end for my husband. The friend said that not only would he not be the best man, but he wouldn't come to the wedding if he couldn't bring the friend's wife he was cheating with. Yep. That was a big nope. They haven't been friends since.

I had a friend that I ended things with because she said "Your problem is you have too much humanity. You care about people too much." I asked her if she cared at all about her fellow human beings and she said "Don't know them. F**k them. Why do you think I carry a gun?" We were in a heated discussion and I had to take a breather. The absolute look of triumph and joy on her face that she had because she "broke me" to the point that I to step away was enough for me. So it wasn't so much what she said, but the fact that she was so genuinely happy that she hurt me so badly. Her look was like "Gotcha b***h! I won the argument!" The fact that her winning was more important than our friendship and trying to see each other's point of view was it for me. She was no one I wanted to know. She admitted to me when we first became friends that she doesn't have empathy or compassion. I should have listened. I just thought she was being hard on herself. Nope.

After convincing me to delete my accounts everywhere and make new ones. After promising me that they’ll protect me from my a*****e ex. After witnessing everything my ex done to me, and how it scarred me for life, I found out that my best friend was dating my ex behind my back for months, lying about it the whole time.

I didn’t know who my friend was dating, as they refused to introduce them in person. It turns out they’ve been dating behind my back a few weeks before my ex broke up with me. The whole thing scarred me to this day. It’s been a year and I haven’t heard from either of them since, though. Good riddance.

"We hate how you became a mother all of a sudden and now spend no time with us at the bar anymore".

Because apparently the friendship was only real if we were in a bar, I guess.
Lost 5 friends on the spot.

Now that I think about it...... maybe they were not even friends to begin with.
Hated going to the bar anyway!

Best friend and ex coworker for 5 years. Confided in her and told her about my self harming, depression and stuff I went through as a child (you can imagine), two days later she not only told the whole of my old work place but told my family too. Absolutely heartbreaking.

Yeah, I had a friend who I met clubbing and only really had a friendship with because we went to the same nightclubs. We went out for coffee once day and there was a noisy child screaming away at a nearby table. She made a derogatory comment about the child being mixed race and how she didn’t agree with mixed race relationships (up until this point I’d not seen anything like that from her at all) and I pointed out that my then boyfriend, now husband was mixed race and I wasn’t happy with her comment & she responded with “yeah but (husband) can pass for white so it’s fine!”.

I made my excuses and left and ignored her messages of “are you out tonight?” after that. She did pop up on social media a few years later when Facebook started and I had a nose on her profile out of morbid curiosity and wasn’t shocked to see she was an active member of the EDL.

I have chronic health issues, and my best friend was trying to get me to drive 30 minutes to her house to go swimming when I had to pack to leave town the next day. She kept pushing and pushing, but when she finally realized I wasn't going to agree, she sat back and said, "You wouldn't be any fun even if you HAD your health."

I left and didn't speak to her again.

My best friend accused me of “making him gay.”

No joke.

He was in the closet when I met him, and throughout our years of friendship I tried my best to show love and support to him during his gradual coming-out process. He came from a conservative family and really resisted coming out. When he finally came to terms with his sexual orientation, I guess he convinced himself somehow that I was the one who planted that seed of homosexuality in his mind and corrupted him. When he yelled at me, in tears, “you made me gay!” I couldn’t believe that he was serious. I was willing to forgive, because I knew it wasn’t really about me, but from that day on he began pushing me away and treating me like s**t. After putting up with the a*****e and toxic behavior for months, I eventually told him that I was done, moved out, and never spoke to him again.

Years later, he emailed me an apology. I have nothing but love for him, and part of me still grieves because he was like a brother to me, but I haven’t tried to rekindle the friendship.

I’m the dumped friend.

She posted a video from The Onion of a fake Senator reading a fake bill that was all redacted and you could tell with context clues it was basically saying in the event of Armageddon, the high powered people have bunkers to hide in. She made some comment about the redacting and our government is hiding stuff.

I commented that it was a satire video and not real. She got super mad and accused me of trying to make her look stupid. She said there was no way she could’ve known.

“The Onion” was in the bottom right hand corner of the video.

She blocked me and we have never spoken since.

We had known each other for at least five years. I (more accurately, my parents) took her in when she ran away from home for, like, a year when we were teens. When her husband beat her up (early 20s) I road tripped all night to pick her back and move her back in.

An ex-friend of mine was pushing me for inappropriate images under the flimsy guise of "joking", seemingly out of nowhere. (I was in a three year relationship with my now husband and this ex-friend of mine also had a gf of his own during this whole ordeal. Real classy.)

Now, this wasn't really something he had done previously in all our years knowing one another, so with that in mind I foolishly tried to give him the benefit of the doubt and just made it unmistakably clear to him that if he didn't stop behaving like a mindless pervert I'd cut contact and end our friendship.

Then one day I got an image text; it was his b***r outlined in gym shorts and a sad and completely see through fish for compliments then the most pathetic backpedal of the century.

Friendship of 10+ years ended, but not before I f*****g laid into him first before blocking that toxic predator's a*s.

F**k you, Lyle.

She told me to never speak to her again after she learned I was hearing voices. And we never spoke again.

We had one friend that said he fell on bad times with money, so we paid everything for him during the next couple of months(drinks, cigars, travel), and after a few months we found out he was going out with new people all that time and was acting rich in front of them with all the money he was saving by scaming us. I hope it was as worth it for him as it was for us.

Had a whole bunch do it at once. I used to have a group of people I thought were my friends. Because of this, I did a lot for them. I helped them out by working on their projects, supported them, let one stay in my home rent free when they were in danger of becoming homeless.

I did all that for these people, but two years in a row, they couldn't be bothered to do something as simple and easy as meet up with me for drinks to celebrate my birthday. Half of them didn't even bother responding to being invited. I've pretty much cut them all out my life now, I'm done being used by those who don't care about me.

Yup. She said she was going to k**l herself because of me. All I did was plan an event her baby couldn't come to. I get she was dealing with postpartum depression but that's a hard no for me.

Had a "friend", C, that constantly borrowed money from me in high school, and never once paid me back. She'd promise to pay me back each time, and give me like, whole stories about how she'd pay me back as soon as she got her allowance on Wednesday or whatever, and then if I asked for the money back later, she'd claim she'd already paid me back.

Her begging got so bad that I literally stopped carrying cash with me to school because if I stood up and she heard change jiggling in my pocket, she'd beg for an hour to borrow money until I lent her some. God forbid if she noticed I'd bought myself a snack or anything.

Anyways, the friendship had mostly ended by the next year, just because as it turns out she was a pretty s****y friend all around and we were fighting about something. But I guess I was still sorta holding out hope for it in some way or another. A mutual friend, R, asked me if I could talk to C because she'd borrowed a favourite belt and some money and R wanted it back (and my locker was right beside C's). I told R that it was probably gone but I'd ask anyways.

Asked about R's money and belt. I still remember C's response.

"I only repay friends."

Any thought I'd ever had that this might be a redeemable friendship went out the window. Told R what was said, offered to pay them back myself, but I was never speaking to C again. And never did. Four years of "friendship" over in that sentence, because it meant that she had never once considered me a friend, just a source of money.

Yes. For some background, I was best friends with this girl (let's call her Alice) for several years, I had just ended a relationship with a guy that through the course of our five-year relationship developed an a*******n to opioids that ultimately resulted in our painful break up, and I'm bi.

Anyway, I started dating a woman I met through Alice. Alice was becoming increasingly territorial, even before I started hanging out with this woman. Eventually we became more serious and Alice called my girlfriend and told her that I'd said "she was just some lesbian that was obsessed with me" about my girlfriend. These words have never and would never leave my mouth, it was just Alice's attempt at sabotaging our relationship. Fortunately my girlfriend knew better and called me immediately and I was able to fix the situation and right the wrong. However, my friendship with Alice was absolutely done as soon as I knew this.

Side note: Alice hase since completely ruined multiple other friendships within our friend group because of her deceit and mistreatment of people. It's the most vivid example of karma I can think of.

Said I was being a bad friend for not wanting to game after my 6th 10 hour shift that week. I was beyond exhausted and desperately wanted to go to bed.

Said friend also called me a "little b***h" because i was worried that I got my then gf pregnant before this incident. That gf later left me for other reasons, so I decided to start making changes without her holding me back. New job, different living arrangement, started doing more outside of the house etc. I didn't mean for him to be one of the things left behind, but I've gotten out of that pit and have much better friends now.

My best friend in college was a girl named *gina*. She and I got along really well and would get drunk and have awesome deep conversations, so everything together, explore etc. natural college s**t when you’re experiencing the world on your own for once.

She liked d***s and tripping and living in shared communities with people she felt were deep. I like drinking and partying and having my own apartment room/bathroom. I personally think nothing is wrong with either preference. She goes off to get a law degree in a city about 3 hours away, i begin working as a chemical engineer in our college town. We stay in touch but i know she’s busy with school no big deal. I visit her a few times but she never comes down to me. Didn’t really have a problem with it at the time but after the fact noticed.

She comes back for a summer internship. I text her and call her and go out of my way to take her to happy hour at high end cocktail bars she picks. To dinner at trendy restaurants. Etc. I pay for everything as I’m the one with the job, no problem i make plenty of money. But every time we meet up it’s her complaining for 2-3 hours about drama or school or whatever and i can’t get a word in. I’m always asking for her to hang out. She’s always prioritizing some boy one month, another boy the next. One time I’m out with other friends at the bar, it was a birthday and we got extra done up. I was feeling great, had some cute fake lashes on, cute dress, and ran into her. Overheard her telling my boyfriend/now husband that she didn’t want to hang around because i had fake lashes on so I must be blacked out drunk (was not. There is nothing wrong with putting a little more effort than normal and feeling beautiful ever so f**k her)

Finally i get tired of making all the effort. I step back and decide I’ll wait for her to ask me to hangout. She ends up moving back to finish her law degree at the college we went to together/in the town i live in. 6 months go by and i get a single text saying “hey are you mad at me? My sister was being crazy last time we hung out. Do you have any hot friends that might be interested in s*x with me? No strings attached”.

I never responded. Never spoke to her again. Been about 3-4 years now. Am still really sad about it. I thought we had a great friendship but I valued her much more than she valued me.

I once told a lifelong friend that I wasn't voting for the same candidate he did in the 2016 election, and he told me I was committing a crime against the United States of America, unfriended me on social media, and has never spoken to me again.

And I can pretty much promise you, the person you think I voted for isn't who I voted for.

It was during college and i was having a conversation with 2 of my friends. I don't know how we got to the topic but then 1 of the girls says something along the lines of 'I don't really like gay people, i think what they do is disgusting and i would never support them... But guy on guy stuff is kind of hot' and i honestly just walked a way right there and then. And we havent spoken since. I'm not gay myself, but i just hate that way of thinking and was honestly shocked at how proud she was of that statement.
