10 Types of Betrayal in Relationships πŸ’”

​

When Trust Gets Broken

Trust is everything in relationships. It's what makes you feel safe to be vulnerable with your partner, share your dreams with your kids, or lean on family when times get tough. But when that trust gets broken? It hurts deeply and can feel impossible to rebuild.

​

Maybe you've discovered lies, felt let down by someone you counted on, or experienced betrayal in your relationship. You're not alone, and what you're feeling is completely valid.

What Does Betrayal Look Like?

Betrayal isn't just about affairs (though that's certainly one form). It can show up as:

  • Breaking promises that matter to you
  • Hiding important information
  • Going behind your back on major decisions
  • Being emotionally unavailable when you need support most
  • Sharing your private moments with others

​

Any action that breaks the agreements you've made together - spoken or unspoken - can feel like betrayal.

How Betrayal Affects You

When trust gets broken, it's normal to feel:

  • Shocked and confused
  • Angry or hurt
  • Questioning everything you thought you knew
  • Wondering if you can ever trust again

​

These feelings are part of healing, not signs that something's wrong with you.

  • Inability to apologize
  • Defensiveness
  • Need to Be Right
  • Lack of Empathy
  • Control Issues
  • Pride Over Vulnerability
  • Blame-Shifting
  • Insecurity and Jealousy
  • Difficulty Forgiving
