So how do you react when someone belittles you or betrays you, in some way? I don't believe in revenge but do you remain friends with people who don't treat you well?

Great and difficult question. It's why I hate these moral absolutionists.

I would like to tell you a very personal story, but don't feel comfortable sharing it right now.

All I will say is that I get betrayal and I know how much it hurts.

I don't pretend to understand your situation, nor would I presume. Mine, I have moved on and I try to see the good that eventually came from it.

EDIT: Meant to say absolutists
