lusciousmile: Have you ever faced this, with friends, colleagues, school mates, loved ones?
I have felt this.
You share a secret, or sentiment with someone, someone who encourages it and continuously says you are doing nothing wrong. Someone else finds out, you get the fall, alone. Suddenly it's a bad thing you have been doing. Ever heard of three sides of a story? Well that's the case.
Accusations, innuendos through friends, collegues or family, any attempt to make you out to be a villain. Remember this, whatever you did, you did in confidence, and didn't mean to hurt anyone. Kinda like your slip showing.
I have been feeling this for a while now, and the person who accused me of this, has said nothing, NOTHING at all, while i keep getting blame for God knows what. The person who betrayed me, has the audacity to 'explain' things to his friends, remember, suddenly they can't say a word to me and i get the blame. I feel like i just cheated with a married man, yet i haven't. Explaining yourself doesn't help, because the person who has been 'hurt' says it's over, tells you to let it go, but clearly they haven't.
Here's the funny thing, before the accusations, you get so uneasy, you decide to stop communication.
Now, everyone else gets comforted and you get nothing but blame. Tell me, should i who was told i did nothing wrong (which i didn't) be the one to blame for this hurt?
My question is, how would YOU resolve this?
I want honest answers, because i have tried to work it out myself but can't, why, because i need answers i am not getting.No forum kamikaze her, just ideas to solve this. I have never in my year here, felt such confusion, yet i have dated a man, not a man i exchanged an email with, but a man i deeply cared for, respected and spent my time with. Now this, because of a man i never even thought i would ever meet.1. I'm confused, if i wasn't doing something wrong ( which i think is true), then should i feel my confidence was betrayed? Help me out here.
2, If i was doing something wrong all the while, why didn't this person who seemed to respect me, not let me know or try to correct me themselves? Why did i have to hear from a third party that i did something wrong? Why did this person never even try to stop communication with me (the wrong doer) before i did?
Opinions?
If you were to come to me in confidence and tell me something that you needed to be kept between you and I, no matter what it was, it would stay that way, I think your friend was in the wrong by telling someone else what you told them.. Your so called friend if he/she disagreed with what you said should have been friend enough to tell you.. and then explored the possibility of a way of working out the situation without involving anyone else.. jmo
