Would you forgive your friend for sleeping with your man?

No way, no how, uh-uh. I could NEVER forgive my best friend for sleeping with my man. Actually, she was never my best friend to do something like that, huh? She was never a friend, period.

The solution for him is very simple. He would be out the door. That's not even an issue. My best friend, on the other hand, is another matter. If you look up the word "friend" in the Merriam-Webster dictionary (

www.m-w.com, it is defined as "one who is attached to another by affection or esteem". Apparently, this person that I called my best friend really is not that because she has no affection or esteem for me whatsoever. Who could have affection for anyone and do such a thing? Who could hold someone in high esteem and commit such a heinous act? As you can see, this is something that I take very seriously.

The strongest trait in a friendship, in my opinion, is loyalty. I am very loyal to my friends, and I expect that in return. To have sex with a man that I have confided in you about could never be forgiven. Besides, 6.5 billion people in the world, and you just HAVE to sleep with my man?! That's crazy. An act like that leads me to believe one thing. My best friend isn't doing this just because she is attracted to my man. She's not doing this because she became too weak after warding off his continuous advances towards her. No, no. For my best friend, someone whom I love like a sister, to be sexually intimate with my man, someone else that I love and care for (and she already knows this, mind you), she did this specifically to hurt me. There is no other explanation for it. This was a malicious act towards me out of jealousy, anger, resentment for something, I don't know. But this horrid act was blatantly done to give me pain.

Which leads me to the next point. Apparently, my "best friend" and I were never friends at all. She never liked me. She never cared about me. She never was a true friend. So then, the question to myself should be: Why do I still have her around? Plain and simple, she needs to be cut off. She was not my friend to do something like this, and I only want true friends and positive people in my life. So, why keep her in my life if she is none of the above? If my man deserved to be shown the door, my best friend deserves to be shown the door as well.

I'll recover from my man cheating on me. It's something that just happens? However, who do you go to if you find out your man is cheating on you? YOUR BEST FRIEND. How can you do that knowing that she either has slept or will sleep with your main? I will NEVER be able to forgive my girl, my best friend, for doing something like this to me. No, Gina. You will never be forgiven. Ooops! My mistake. Did I slip up and give her name?
