Wait, They Actually Did That?! The 53 Wildest Friend Betrayals Ever

My "best friend" of 8 years ghosted me two weeks after my dad died. Then popped back a month later saying he was tired of dealing with me crying. Oh yeah, sorry for still being sad two weeks after THAT happened! His dad died similarly before, and he used me as a shoulder, but judged me when I needed him. Classic Philip.

Had a guy crash at our place between moves. While I was out, he got drunk and tried to bully my wife into sex. Told her "If you don't, I'll lie to my friend and say you did." She locked the doors, hid at a neighbor's, and called me and the cops. Cops showed up before me and told him to get lost or they'd find a reason to jail him. Lucky for everyone.

My friend slept with my (obviously now ex) husband while we were still together. About four years later she got mad that I wouldn't be a bridesmaid in her third wedding.

My "friend" f*****d my wife while I was working extra military duty. When I was working and he was off, he'd go to my house. He got his dues though. No bad vibes from me now. If that didn't happen, I wouldn’t be where I am today. And that woman in my bedroom now? I love her more than I thought possible. He got caught cheating later, his military career ended, and he got involved in a pyramid scheme. Lucky for him, I sought help before things got uglier.

Asked him to drop by daily to feed my saltwater fish and test water in my sweet 150 gal tank. I was out of town for two weeks. Came home to a dead tank. He didn’t stop by once, even though I gave him $200 and he said it was on his way home from work. Confronted him; he just shrugged it off like it was no big deal. Sold the gear, quit for 3 years, never spoke to him again.

Had 3 besties all through school. Planned a group trip finally. One friend suggested a fancy resort but I said it was out of my budget and recommended a similar, cheaper spot. Then, radio silence. I called and messaged, no reply. Fifteen years of friendship wiped out over a holiday.

A guy and I came out as gay and dating to our friend group. Some religious girls tried to get him to break up with me to save his soul because I'm a "ball of darkness and despair" corrupting him. Not my soul, just his. Ouch.

Loved being friends with her. Her boyfriend’s brother raped me and I didn't tell anyone. When my boyfriend found out, the boyfriend made her ditch me as a friend. She just dropped me, blocked me, and acted like we were never friends. Later, she came back, apologized, then dropped and blocked me again after reconciling with her boyfriend. Still hurts a lot. That's just cold.

Convinced the whole friend group I did something unforgivable and got them to ditch me while we were abroad. No fights, just cold shoulder and fake friends. Worst vacation ever.

Mutual friend of me and my ex-gf kept saying our relationship was unhealthy. Turns out he just wanted to sleep with her. After we broke up, and she got drunk and sad, they hooked up.

He had s*x with me while I was passed out drunk. Not blacked out, I remember thinking "this is a good guy" when he took me home. Didn't know back then it was rape. No STIs or pregnancy luckily, but statute of limitations was up when I found out. Most people we knew still invite him to parties; I stay away. My so-called closest friends justified it with 'boys will be boys,' so I'm no longer friends with them.

On a Dominican Republic trip with my friend and her family, she refused to do anything fun and just sat around watching her parents play Euchre. Afterward, she told everyone I made fun of her mom for having breast cancer - which was totally untrue. Her ‘sick’ mom was perfectly healthy. I was basically blacklisted and friendless until high school.

Had 3 best friends since school, all planned a holiday together. One suggested an expensive spot, I said it was out of budget and picked a cheaper one. Crickets after that. No calls, no messages, nothing. Fifteen years of friendship gone over one holiday disagreement.

He stole my NES games - Wheel of Fortune and some baseball game. That was 30 years ago and I'm still hurt about it. His mom never made him give them back, even when we begged.

My "friend" decided it was funny to burn the hair off my leg with a lighter and deodorant. Ended up with second-degree burns on most of my calf that are still visible after two years.

Met a girl on AIM chat in 2006; she showed pictures but it wasn’t her. I showed my buddy’s screen name to get help, he tried to hit on her and trashed me as a loser. The girl wasn’t honest, so my buddy said, “Nooo! I wanted to hook up with her.” After that, I barely talked to him.

In college, was dating a girl since freshman year; told best friend she’s The One. Six months later, he admits he started sleeping with her a week later to save me money on a ring. Bros before hos, I guess. Cut them both out; met actual The One later. Life upgraded.

We were inseparable through school and planned to stay college buddies. She didn’t get into the schools I picked, so I gambled on going with her. A couple months before college started, she said she was moving to NYC with a guy she met online. She knew for months but waited to tell me until last minute.

Friend Ben dated Lindsey, who and I got tight. Ben acted flirty with me but cheated with several girls. Told Lindsey to warn her. She accused me of trying to steal Ben and hooked up with my fiancé to get revenge. Toxic trio, good riddance.

I flew to Japan to meet up with friends… and they ghosted me. No calls, no shows, just a big ol’ nothing.

Taught me bartending, got hired at my place after the other job closed. Two weeks in, caught on camera stealing liquor and cash. Bye bye, 'friend.'

Hooked up with my then-girlfriend. It was my first serious relationship, and he acted like I should just forget it. Like he was proud of scoring at least once.

Physically attacked me because they thought I was attracted to them and had to prove they weren’t gay. I never was attracted to them once.

Repeatedly made dead mom jokes, knowing my mom had passed. Also said stuff like 'Well MY mom is still alive, so you can just go be president of the dead mom’s club.'

A 'friend' found out I was out of town and broke into my house by smashing a back window. He acted all shocked when we found it but later admitted it was him. We weren’t friends by then, but still, how shady is that?

Raped me while I was passed out drunk. Then called me late at night threatening to come visit because he wanted to see me again. Trigger warning: this one’s heavy.

Friends you haven't seen for years pop up asking to hang out, then drop the invite to join MLMs, buy insurance, Amway, and more. Then never contact you again. Classic hustle.

Friends for four years in high school. I started pulling back slowly; she realized and responded by calling me a pest, spilling my secrets, and declaring a 'war.' She was straight-up crazy.

My best friend fell for a guy, decided to run away but changed her mind. To cover up, she told her husband I convinced her to run away with me. He thought I was crazy from then on. She died recently, but I skipped her funeral. Too awkward.

Introduced her to the guy I liked. She forced me to be a third wheel because she was shy. Then she took his virginity on my couch. They're married now with five kids. She already had three before.

Started dating my boyfriend less than a week after we broke up. I'd been with him for three years and was best friends with her for four. Friendship ended then. Still haven’t found a friend like her.

Threw me aside like trash after I told him to rethink bad choices hurting others. Lots of fake friends mocked me behind my back too. One flounced, sent nasty messages from fake profiles, and stalked me. I’m ready for another restraining order if needed.

None of my friends came to my mother's funeral. It took months for any acknowledgment, and only when I ran into them. Since then, I've attended every one of their parent’s funerals regardless of my own struggles.

In high school, I liked my best friend. One day he told a mean kid he’d never date me because I’m fat. The guy spread it around. Felt like my self-esteem got punched in the face. Years later, trust issues persist.

Four friends held me down, roughed me up, and beat me to get my Warcraft 3 CD keys. Also stole my Amazon's gear in Diablo 2, including rare items. That's some next-level betrayal.

On my 18th birthday at Olive Garden, friends pushed for a birthday cake but left me to pay the $8 bill. I was shocked since that was more than my meal! Their excuse? I should’ve used my dad’s credit card. Worst birthday ever.

Best friends since 6th grade, always close. Last three months, I invited him out and got 'can’t' or 'nah.' Asked if I did anything wrong - no answer. Don’t get it. He was like a brother.

Friend of several years skipped my brother's wake to go drinking with others. Not cool at all.

Married seven years into relationship. After three months, she stopped saying 'I love you.' I had to remind her that showing love is important for us to work. We didn’t make it. It still breaks my heart.

He straight up stole my Pokémon cards. Childhood betrayal right there.

Started a joint betting account that hit $9K. One morning, he didn’t answer, and the account was emptied. Never heard from him again.

Was renting with friend and dating my GF. His girlfriend was over often. One day he slammed her against the wall then dragged her kicking and screaming to kick her out. Told him if it happened again, he was out. He stormed off, tried to steal from my fridge and wallet, then punched me when confronted. GF terrified after. He thinks I betrayed him, still wants to hurt me. No thanks.

Liked a girl since middle school and was friends with her, but she dated my other friend. Another girl I liked at work got cold shoulder after he told her I only wanted s*x and not a relationship. Kicked that friend out of my life once I found out.

Pretended to console me during my separation while f*****g my husband. I found out she told him everything I said behind my back. They married. She told my son hateful things about me and can't be unsupervised with him now. My ex stays with her.

Slept with my husband the whole time she attended Bible study with me to pray for my marriage's healing.

Gave me pills, said it was MDMA. Turned out to be meth. Thanks for nothing, Kevin.

After dad died, mom sold house, I was 18 and homeless without a place to go. Left camping and photo gear with a friend to hold until I settled down. He never gave it back. F**k you, Matt.

Best friend started dating a girl from work, knocked her up two weeks before my wedding. Jealous baby mama insisted he be my best man. Left the wedding early with her and vanished. Then got all nasty to my wife. Haven't heard from him since 2017.

Had a whole friend group in middle school. They suddenly all cut me out for some reason. Got really depressed afterwards. Trust is hard now.

Ruined any chance I had with a girl I really liked - drove me to a mental breakdown. Always wanting the last word while treating me like the third wheel. Time and trust wasted.
