When's the last time someone betrayed your trust?

[sarettah]

Several years back I had a friend named Bobbi. We both had a mutual friend named Zane.

Now, Zane managed to get his ass in a whole bunch of trouble. First got involved with crack, then got busted a couple of times.

While he was in jail, his wife took to shacking up with a friend. Bobbi thought she was the only one who knew this and at some point confided it to me.

Zane got out of jail and was back in the neighborhood. I was unaware that he was home and had not yet seen him when I got a phone call from Bobbi that started with "How could you do that to me, I thought you were my friend and ended very shortly thereafter".

I went up to talk to Bobbi and apparently Zane had confronted her with "My wife was screwing around and you didn't tell me ?" or something to that effect.

In Bobbi's mind, the only place he could have gotten that info was from me, fact was I had not seen him.

When I finally did see Zane, I asked him what the deal was and he said "I guessed and I guessed right".

He went back to Bbbi and explained that I had told him nothing, Bobbi came down to my house and apologized etc.

However, it was pretty much the end of a 10 year friendship between me and Bobbi.

Sometimes things are not as they seem from inside our personal filters.
