Our friends are supposed to be some of the closest people in our lives. The ones who hype up our wildest ideas. The ones who hop in the car for a spontaneous 5 a.m. road trip, no questions asked. And the first ones we turn to when life falls apart. The last thing you’d ever expect from them is betrayal.
But it happens more often than you’d think, and it stings in a way that’s hard to describe. So when one Redditor asked users to share the worst thing a “friend” had ever done to them, they came through with plenty of painful stories. Scroll down to read them and share your own in the comments.

My friend of several years skipped my brother's wake to go drinking with some other friends.

Married me seven years into our relationship, then stopped saying “I love you” three months in. I had to remind her that the affirmation of our love was important if we were going to make it. We did not. She wouldn’t tell me that she loved me. And it breaks my heart to this day.

Had a joint betting account on Bodog with my roommate and one of my best friends. We started it as a lark, and went on a crazy winning streak. I moved out, but we kept in touch and called each other every Sunday to discuss our picks. After a couple of years, the account was up to $9K. One Sunday morning, I called him like I did every week and didn't hear back from him. I went on the account prior to the early games and and it was emptied. Was never able to get in touch with him again.

I was renting a place last year with my GF and best friend of 8 years. His GF was over often which I didn't mind. I knew they had their issues and would fight, but that's their thing. One day he slammed her against the wall after almost an hour of screaming at each other and then dragged her literally kicking and screaming through the house - as in dragged her along the floor by either her ankle or her hair, I don't remember - as he kicked her out. She has multiple scoliosis.
I told him after I dropped her home that maybe they need to split, and if that ever happened again that I'd kick him out (house was rented in mine and my gfs name).
Well he saw that as the worst betrayal ever and stormed out for several days, returning to pack his s**t and try to steal from the fridge and my wallet. I confronted him and got punched in the head and we tussled. My GF was sitting right there the entire time and was terrified to the point of having severe anxiety, paranoia, and nightmares for weeks. He left, threatening to come back to burn the house down and k**l me, literally walked over my car.
I haven't seen him since (thankfully), but from what I can gather from mutual friends, he still thinks I was 100% in the wrong and that I have betrayed him beyond disbelief; and while he apparently doesn't want to k**l me anymore I've been told that he still desires to severely hurt me as much as possible without going that far.

I really liked this one girl I had known since middle school and we were friends but she was dating one of my other friends, she knew I was into her. Then we hired another girl at my grocery store I really liked and fell head over heels for, yeah my friend told her the only thing I wanted was to have s*x with her and not a relationship or anything. She gave me the cold shoulder after that and it wasn't until years later I found out why from someone else I knew, when I found out I kicked that friend out of my life. I guess she liked all the attention I gave her and didn't want me giving that attention to someone else.

Pretended to console me during my separation when she was really f*****g my husband. I realized all the conversations we had about my marriage problems were being repeated to him behind my back. They went on to get married, she a****d my son by telling him the nastiest, most hateful things about me, and now she legally cannot be unsupervised with him. Yet my ex stays with her.

After my father died my mother had to sell the house, I was 18 at the time... I was given the choice between homeless and moving to the otherside of the country. I figured inwould couch s**f. I sent most of my things with mum but decided my camping and photography gear might be worth keeping. I had a friend hold on to it with the idea being once i got settled he wpuld give it back. He never did....
F**k you , Matt!

Was my whole group of friends in Middleschool. They all just cut me out for some reason. Eventually got really really depressed. Trust issues ever since.

Ruin any chance I had with a girl I really liked a lot and one of the very few ones that I got along with. Gave me a mental breakdown and drove me into almost committing s*****e. Always wanting to have the last word and thinking everything was a joke when I wasn’t even joking at all, not bothering to give an effort when I invite them to important events of mine yet they get mad at me. Always making me feel like the third wheel. Yeah, I hate them. So much time, money and effort wasted. Plus, I have trust issues and words that I can never unhear.

My best friend of 25 years started sleeping with a girl from his job, who wanted nothing to do with any of his friends, not even to meet any of us; he knocked her up, baby born two weeks before my wedding and since the baby mama was super jealous, basically had to beg him to be in my wedding as my best man (as we had agreed on many years ago) because the maid of honor and himself had crushed on each other mutually for a short time several years before.
Left the reception early with baby mama who never even left the car, I haven’t seen or heard from him since November of 2017.
Some mild drama went down between my wife and his baby mama a couple months later due to a misunderstanding, they made peace within the week, but he exploded, told my wife all kinds of ugly s**t, and shut us out.
A few months later, we hear through the grapevine that he and baby mama are engaged to be married. No call, text, nothing.
He is basically d**d to me now, but now and then I get the feeling that maybe I should try and contact him, but after all the b******t he put us through, maybe it’s better to let go.
