Betrayal by a friend is not something you can just laugh off, says Dr Jennifer Freyd, a psychology professor at the University of Oregon. “The very place where you should be able to get help and protection from the harms of life becomes the source of harm.” She coined the term “betrayal trauma” to describe the pain such treachery can cause. “We are a social species; when someone betrays us, it’s a real threat to our wellbeing.” This will involve anger and sadness certainly, but lots of other feelings too. You may even slip into a temporary depression. You need to feel these feelings rather than suppressing them. Samson adores the delectable Delilah, (yes the names made me hoot) and she adores him, but they struggle to get together on a personal level, and I’m guessing this has been going on for some time.
‘Some things can’t be repaired’: how do you recover when a
Betrayal by a friend who you’ve drifted apart from and who you now see no more than once or twice a year is going to feel very different to betrayal by a spouse or parent who is very much a major part of your life. Eventually, you’ll be able to consign the betrayal to your past… at least for the most part. You may never be able to let go of it entirely, but it will no longer affect your life in any great way. You may even be able to see it as an important moment in your life or your relationship that has benefits in the long run.Anger – you’ve been hurt and one of the most natural feelings in such situations is anger. “How dare they?! How could they?! They’ll pay for this!”
Betrayal Trauma: Causes, Symptoms, Impact, and Coping Betrayal Trauma: Causes, Symptoms, Impact, and Coping
If someone has hurt you before, or if they have form that you are aware of, you should strongly consider whether keeping this person in your life is best for you (and best for other important people in your life such as children).Oblivious to his impending date with darkness, Samson is busy juggling a series of cases at the Dales Detective Agency. Too busy, in fact, to take the entreaties of a certain Mrs Lister seriously. The concerned mother is convinced her son Stuart – the local lettings agent at Taylor’s Estate Agents – has gone missing, despite evidence to the contrary.

Lisa, a disability support worker, knows this feeling well. “I couldn’t believe how stupid we’d been,” she sighs. Lisa met Anna in the 1990s when they worked in adjacent shops in Edinburgh. “She was funny and kind and generous,” says Lisa. “You knew where you stood with her. I liked that.”

Not my usual feast of bloody serial killings awash with gore and body parts, and sacrificial murder with religious undertones, Date With Betrayal is more of a cosy mystery. It involves the targeting of our hero, ex-cop Samson O’Brien, by a hitman, due to his time in the Met when he worked undercover. Obviously if I’d read the other books, I would know more about this, but I know he came home to the village of Bruncliffe in the Yorkshire Dales and started the Dales Detective Agency with Delilah Metcalfe. If you find that you are unable to move past the pain or get thoughts of the betrayal out of your head, you may be suffering from betrayal trauma. This can happen in any kind of betrayal but is most common in betrayals that happen during childhood or that involve adultery. Based on Trivers’ (1985) model of the evolution of human moral emotions, moral emotions evolved to help people stay connected to others in a world where betrayal and other forms of social transgressions had potentially devastating consequences. This is a time when you look inward and try to understand the betrayal, the aftermath, and the longer-term consequences in your life. The question of whether the partner of a sex addict should stay is so complex that only the individual themselves can answer it.It may not feel possible right now, but you should try to eventually forgive the person who betrayed you. Forgiveness isn’t for them; it’s for you. Forgiving them doesn’t say that you are okay with what they did; it says that you wish to release your hurt surrounding it. I hardly think kissing and petting is trying to stop an affair. It is clear that OP's wife only told the truth because she was caught and knew that OM's wife would tell. Sounds like they got busted before the A went further.. If someone is trying to end and get out of an affair they certainly don't make out and do heavy petting! She insists they didn't go all the way. She says she wasn't ready to take that step. But even if I take that at face value, it was the fact that the OM wife caught them that stopped this from developing further. It was a matter of time. She insists that she was trying to find a way to stop this, but that is just words. Like Medea, Stacy Thunes’ story of betrayal revolves around a duplicitous lover. Thunes, a 61-year-old actor and screenwriter from London, was betrayed by her close friend Billie in the early 80s. When Thunes fell in love with a handsome musician, she arranged for the three of them to go for breakfast. At breakfast, to Thunes’ horror, “his foot was actually touching hers under the table”, she says.
