Question - (31 October 2009) 3 Answers - (Newest, 31 October 2009)
A female United Kingdom age 30-35, anonymous writes:

Back near the end of May I was in P.E and I didn't do it that day. I was sitting with a few of my closest friends and I suddenly got upset because I had a secret and knew it was going to blurt out. So I ran to the toilets in tears and my best friend Hayley came and asked me what was wrong, I tried to hide the fact that I was upset and put a fake smile on my face. But because she had been my best friend for three years she knew just by looking at my eyes that I was upset. So I eventually told her I had a secret and she kept telling me to confess and that she wouldn't care whatever it was. But it took me five minutes to finally confess that I was a lesbian. She said that she didn't think that was something to be ashamed about and told me that this made me no different from anyone else and gave me a cuddle. She swore on her dad's ashes and grandad's ashes that she would never tell anyone ever.

Two weeks later somebody in maths told me they knew I was a lesbian and told me it my best friend Hayley that told her and I asked that person how many people knew. She told me practically half the school knew because Hayley told her that she told those amount of people and was secretely slagging me off about it to everyone. I felt so humiliated and felt like my heart had been taken out and stomped on by my own best friend. I thought I could trust her enough to confide in her about anything but she maaged to break all of that trust just by revealing a secret I told her and I just could not believe she was sick and twisted enough to swear on her own dad's and grandad's ashes. All I've been thinking bout since then is how to get revenge, so please someone give me advice on whether I should forgive and forget or get revenge

Thankyou for reading my story

She didn't respect you and if respect is isn't given it must be exacted. At the very same time, revenge is stupid-you can't fire with flamethrowers in a forest. Talk to her on the level. Then decide whether shes a liability or not

AskLadyJuJu agony auntrevenge will just bite you in the ass right back .. just let karma deal with it .. eventually its going to come right baack to her for breaking your trust it may take a while but when her life falls apart or if something happened that she needs you there and your not there for her to lean on your shoulder then she will realize what she has done.. i would tell her how she betrayed your friendship and how she humiliated you and tell her to her face that you will forgive her but you WONT forget! That way she knows that she was the one that put your friendship on the line and she obviously didnt care because she did that and went against your word not to tell anyone.. what she did was childish ... i would keep it cool with her but dont tell her anything from now on..not until she can regain your trust and if you feel like u cant get her trust back then its not ur fault just never tell her another secret again!

She probably told one person then they went and told their friends who told their friends......etc. So don't think that she went round individually to everyone. But yes you should confront her and say how much she hurt you.
