Is there a particular story you want to tell? people do not operate in a vacuum, missing specific information is important. The question is, really would you?

yeah me and my best friend for years became a couple and after 6 months she cheated on me and now we lost our friendship too ..thats why
Yes because they may feel the same way but afraid to say anything also and therefore you both could both be missing out on the greatest love of your lives.

Is it a case where she thought of you as a friend with benefits and you wanted exclusivity?
Too bad that you lost your friendship with her.
Let me ask, if I may, if your friend had been a male and he betrayed you in some manner (like told someone else a secret about you).... would that break a long time friendship or are you like to forgive him? (I am talking about non romantic guy friendship)
So if you would and have forgiven other of your friends, could you take a leap of faith and forgive your ex-girlfriend and turn her back into a good friend?
just kinda curious - there is no right or wrong answer just all about who we are as people?
Our capacity to love as humans, is amazing, and confusing, and happy, and sad and all varieties in between. Did Shakespeare have it right? Is it better to have loved and lost then never to have loved at all?

Sounds like she felt obligated into giving it a try with you, but you can't obligate a woman into loving you.. Most women at some time or other get it into their heads that being with a certain man or certain type of man would be a good idea or the right thing to do, but the heart always wins in the end.

geoabcd1234: well depends how serious was my secret i guess..
and that's the whole thing - it is a truly individual decision.
I am, I think, a very loyal person, however, I have learned over my life that if it is a big betrayal of a friend - I do not forgive - some other people do - they forgive but not forget or they forget...
I also have some lovely friends that were so destructive, that I avoided them and excluded them from my life. They have grown up and changed, so I have become on friendly terms again.
How does she feel now about returning to a friendship with you? Does she feel awkward?

Oh. So she had said to you before you had said anything at all to her?
This doesn't have to make a difference. I'm wondering what her ex was like before you? Women coming off the back of getting hurt can go do silly things. They can tell themselves that what they want is somebody nothing like their ex. In the midst of pain they can crave comfort and safety, but sooner or later she returns to what she always wanted.
Maybe not even this. She may have looked at you as a good friend a good person and genuinely wished that she could love you.
limay123: yes because I would be honest... I believe in honesty and also if this were a true BBF what is there to lose ... if its not mutual then so be it...
friends come and go love comes and goes
eventually somethings gotta stick, but if you are true to yourself and are honest you risk it ...

Yes I would tell them. It may be a positive response. If not, and she didn't wish to have a friendship with me after me being honest, then I would accept that, and hopefully as adults, we can deal with it in a mature way.
