Friend-Enemy

Have you ever had a friend who eventually becomes your enemy? Now all your little secrets that you shared with them can be used against you. So what is a person to do?

Can one really have a "good friend" and not share their thoughts and dreams with them? Should one always keep their secrets to themselves, even though they have friends who tell them everything? How long would it take before that "friend" begins to realize that they tell you everything, yet you tell them nothing? (But then again, some people have stupid friends for a reason.)

Wives and husbands/boyfriends and girlfriends are classic examples in this case. What do we now say about the kinky side of our ex, now that we hate their guts? Now everything bad they said or did in the past can be used against them.

Friends who become enemies causes a lot of anxiety. Now they can tell Mr. or Mrs. X everything bad we said about them.

What should we tell and never tell our "best friend?" As a man I don't think I have a big problem because most men say they don't say a lot, but what about you females. Has this ever come back to hurt you when your friend becomes your enemy? I know that for men, especially those in gangs, this could be a killer. Become a traitor or snitch in the eyes of your "best friend" and he will show you no mercy. He will not remember all the good times you shared together.
