Boundaries Are Healthy

Can You Ever Trust Someone Who Betrayed You?

💥 Let’s Talk About Betrayal | Sober Psychology Short You ever had that “friend” who slept with your ex or spilled your secrets? That’s not a mistake. That’s a memo. That’s who they are. Believe it. 💯 Yeah yeah — forgiveness is noble and all, but don’t be a sucker in the name of “healing.” 🚫 Your mental health isn’t a charity for backstabbers. 🚫 You’re not a rehab center for repeat offenders. Here’s the cold, hard psych behind it: A 2018 study in Psychological Science found that broken trust rarely recovers fully. Maybe a little. But let’s be real — the fracture’s always there. So what’s the move? Cut the cord. Move on. Wish 'em well, but from a distance. And here’s the real test: 🧠 Do they defend you in a room you're not in? If the answer’s “no,” that’s not your friend. That’s a liability in your inner circle. Gossip is human — but loyalty? That’s a choice. And I don’t need people in my life who only clap for me when I’m watching.
