The sting of betrayal

There is tale of when Julius Caesar was being murdered that he fought vigorously until the end. Yet, the tale goes that when he turned and saw Brutus that he stopped fighting. Brutus then stabbed him with the fatal strike.


We all know of the story of Jesus betrayal by Judas. For 30 pieces of silver, he betrayed Jesus with a kiss.

Why people betray one another? Its hard to say honestly. Perhaps its greed or vengence.

I have been betrayed. It has been a terrible experience. A woman who I loved for several years relocated to a new town and married a man after only month of being there. While I questioned her the idea of moving to a new town. She insisted that it was not for a man. Yet, here I was being gullible and giving her the benefit of the doubt. A friend of both of us called me out the clear blue and told me. Before she left, she was evicted out of her home. I had love for her, so I allowed her and her kids to stay with me. We slept in the same bed. Made love in the same bed several times and yet she did not have enough love for me to stay and try to work things out. We were divorced but I believed that we could have reconciled. Yet after finding things out on her myspace page, this wedding was being planned right under my nose. People around us assumed that I knew she was getting married. I did not know and you know how that is. You are usually the last one to know. Well, even recently she tried to deny the fact that she was. Yet, why I do not know. Perhaps it was to keep me in her life indirectly. Either way, we are finished and could never be friends again. She used me and didnt even apologize for it. Which is crazy because I do not think the man she was with knew that she was still having sex with me (and trust me it was a lot). Betrayal is a strange brew. How does she sleep at night knowing that all I did was try to help her and be a blessing. Yet she now has a new last name, a new city, and a new set of issues. I confided in someone close to and they said they wish they could be a fly on the wall because she is going to get hers big time. As much as that maybe true, it is not justice for me. Instead i have heal from the wounds inflicted and move on with my life and not allow this unfortunate thing interfere with my next relationship if it is to be. Betrayal is a monster. Some can live with, and I guess she will. In retrospect I feel sorry for her. I hate what she did but what will happen to her because of it is out of my hands. It is what it is.
