I was fooled into believing that I had a true friend once. One person I would have trusted with my life, with my children's lives. Tough lesson to learn that I was so very wrong about that. I got used but hard, and the worst was I never once saw it coming. I was blind to it until the very end. Very painful and eye-opening experience to be sure.
Sorry to hear that. As one of the above posters said, you're not alone, trust me. I have two friends and consider myself extremely lucky. One of those friends has been a very close friend for 22 years, the other for 13 years. Coincidentally, both are male.
