Tomorrow is my Birthday. I will be 36 years old.
Yesterday I learned that someone I trusted and with whom I had always been completely open and honest with lied to me. Not only did she lie to me, but the actions she took which necessitated her lie were a direct betrayal of my trust and the honest relationship she encouraged me to develop over years.
I cannot ever imagine betraying someone the way she has betrayed me. And, I can’t believe that at 36 years old, these types of people and these types of intentionally hurtful and malicious activities continue to persist.
Today I am sad and hurting. I am sad for myself and this betrayal of trust and honesty. I am sad for this other person, that she feels it acceptable and justifiable to act this way. And, I am sad that this people and these kinds of relationships will always exist in this world.
I can feel my heart breaking as I read this. So sorry that your trust has been broken like this. Certainly not something you want at any stage of life, let alone so close to a happy occasion like a birthday.
Hope you had a good birthday, with your favourite people and loved one, regardless!

Yes, definitely a crappy thing regardless of the timing! But I did have a wonderful birthday celebration with some good friends and my husband and kids!

Being betrayed can be so devastating. So even wonder how do you ever recover from that. The following link has truly been resourceful for me. https://www.jw.org/en/publications/magazines/watchtower-no1-2016-january/consequences-of-dishonesty/
