They Were Best Friends for Over a Decade—Then One Shocking Moment Changed Everything
Ever had that gut-wrenching moment when you realize your so-called “best friend” just isn’t? Like, you’re dealing with some serious stuff—getting stalked or harassed, calling for help—and instead of support, you get a shrug and a “Why are you making it a big deal?” Yeah, that kind of friend. It’s wild how quickly years of friendship can evaporate over a single moment of blatant disregard. What’s even crazier is we all have these stories—whether it’s betrayal, lies, or just cold indifference—that show how fragile these bonds can be. So, why do some friendships instead of standing tall in tough times, collapse like a house of cards? Let’s dive into a collection of unforgettable, sometimes brutal, ‘friendship gone wrong’ tales that’ll make you rethink who’s really in your corner.

This was the fastest for me. I was being stalked and harassed in high school. I went to the administration and they called in the police. My best friend said “I don’t know why you have to make it such a big deal.” Never spoke to her again.
She got married. I was just friends with this girl from law school. She was a cool girl and we lived in the same city after law school.
We never had s*x. We had never seen each other naked. I was dating someone else at the time. She was dating this guy. I met her parents as just a friend – was friends with her sister.
So for about 6 years we were just pretty cool friends. She gets married… her husband then texts me and tells me to stay away from her.
I text her and say, yo, your husband is telling me not to speak with you anymore, is that what you want?
I got no response.
Cool.
A few weeks pass and I call friend’s sister and see if she wants to grab a drink as I was in the area.
“You got some f*****g nerve calling me.”
“Um… what? Listen, I know XX doesn’t want me to speak to her but not sure why we can’t be friends.”
“Are you f*****g kidding me? You ruined her life and are trying to ruin her marriage with what you did to her!”
*WHAT??????????*
“I’m sorry, I have no idea what you are talking about… I have always had her best interest at heart so I dunno.”
“Yeah, well… then why didn’t you tell her you had herpes before you f****d her.”
“Wait what??? She and I never had s*x and I don’t have herpes so I’m a little confused here.”
“Stop f*****g lying – HUSBAND told the whole thing and she never denied it so f**k you, don’t f*****g ever speak to us again!”
Alright…
Come to find out – that a*****e had herpes and didn’t tell her and he gave her herpes and when it got out that she had herpes somehow, he blamed it on me and she just let the lie take hold because it was easier than her family hating her husband.
Alright – cheers… consider it a parting gift.
In college, a former friend tried to have s*x with me (I’m also a guy) while I was black out drunk (He was not drunk). He did that despite knowing I am straight and had a girlfriend at the time. Lucky for me there were some actual friends that stopped him.
I was gaming with my best friend and my wife was sitting on the couch next to me just reading a book. She was super content just letting me game. She just wanted to be spending time with me. My friend had a not even one year old kid that he just stuck in a bouncing chair in the side of the room while we played. He said the kid loves that chair and is in it a lot, so he just games.
The kid starts whining a bit, but he gets ignored. I’m thinking “We’ll probably hit this checkpoint and he’ll go tend to his kid.” Nope. Several good stopping points had passed and the kid was fussing even more now. So my buddy says to my wife “[my wife’s name], there’s formula in the cupboard and the diaper bag is over in the corner there. He’s probably just hungry and has a poopy diaper if you wanna feed and change him.”
I looked at this guy like he’d just slapped her, turned my game off and said “How about instead of asking my wife to do it, you put down your game and take care of your own child?”
A bit of a harsh response, but he looked so butt hurt that I’d just told him to take care of his own child instead of game all day. I packed my stuff up and we left. I haven’t spoken to him in 3 years.
TL;DR My former best friend told my wife to feed and change his infant child so he could keep playing video games. We don’t speak anymore.
One of my best friends of several years set me up to get robbed for £390, my wallet and my jacket. The guy who robbed me pulled a machete on me and kept it against my neck. I don’t really know why they decided they want to do it, but I know from enough people (and just the way it all happened gave me suspicions) telling me it was him that I found out.
So naturally I stopped being friends with him, because it was a bit of a d**k move and all.
