If we talk about the intensity of the relationship determining the intensity of betrayal, people on average, when they think about a friend, when they think about a spouse, they devalue just how close a friend can be.
And it's often trivialized as a relationship.
And that's what I've sort of pushed for in platonic that, hey, friendships can be every bit as close as spousal relationships.
In fact, many women do report just like you did.
They're more vulnerable with their friends than with their romantic partner.
And so because of that, when the betrayal happens, you're getting these reactions like, oh, why are you so hurt?
Get over it.
It was just a friend.
Like, you're still thinking about that.
Versus if someone goes through a divorce and there's the, we're going to sign up for the casserole train.
So.
This person has food every day.
I'm going to check in on them.
I'm going to write them a card, send them money for coffee to treat themselves.
There's just such a different validation around the pain that when there's a friendship loss, friendship betrayal, it can trigger what's called disenfranchised grief, which is when you feel like you're grieving and you're really hurt, but nobody's giving you permission for that hurt.
It's also applied to miscarriages and to loss of pets.
And because of that, it can feel like we don't actually heal because we never give ourselves permission to fully grieve.
There's this way that I see that betrayal and friendship, it can stick with people.
It can feel like a dull ache that you're sort of carrying throughout your life because you don't feel the permission to fully embody and fully acknowledge the depths to which a friendship betrayal has hurt you.
What are some of the psychological and emotional effects that people experience after this kind of friendship betrayal?
