I just watched this video. Cheating is already a betrayal, but doing it after someone has given you a kidney just feels evil.

What is the worst relationship betrayal you've heard about, experienced or did yourself?

During master’s program , I grew close to a girl in my study group. We were best friends and I fell in love. We spent so much time together and each of us said, “I love you.” I saw myself marrying her one day.

We graduated, and she became distant and seemed to ignore my calls.

When I finally got her to talk to me about what was wrong, she told me, “I needed your help throughout school and we’re done with school, you served your purpose, and now I’m done with you.”

That is horrible! I'm so sorry that happened.

How can people be so cruel to others? Especially others who help them...

Maybe I’ve written this before. It’s just on my mind. Besides my job, I was also in charge of a group within the company for a stipend. I thought it would be nice to share the position to give another person a chance for input even though it would cost me 1/2 the stipend. The gal did an end run and lied about me to the boss in order to take the entire stipend. The boss was an insecure horse face who wanted to be her friend and went along with it. It hurt me so bad and so deep. I still have to work with the gal and suffer her digs. I feel she is soulless and I hope Karma gets her. I’m trying to forgive, as I know it hurts me, but it has been hard. In my mind, the boss should have fired her for the tactic she used. The gal is just ok at the position but several others know what she did so there’s that. She gave up a friend for a little money. It’s shameful and low class. She think she is smart but so narrow in ideas.

I think it's all a matter of perspective, for example as per OP, shitty people have and will continue to donate organs, doesn't preclude them from being shitty partners. Countless SOs and spouses have literally had their entire livelihoods funded by their partners, doesn't stop society from cheering them on when they illicitly find in a sneaky link something their partner was lacking and unwilling to work upon.

That all being said, my most brutal betrayal was to myself...1st in allowing my cheating ex- SOs excuses to cause me to try to "up" my game, so to speak, and 2nd, opting to cheat back(when I regained my senses and some self pride back) as opposed to just leaving cleanly and starting over with a clear conscience.
