What to answer when asked this?

Post Reply New Topic

If someone (not a romantic relationship) betrays your trust and hurts you deeply, making you lose something that was very important to you, through no wrong on your part, and then they say: "I really hope we can remain in friendly terms" (probably meaning "Please don't take revenge"), what do you answer?

"I don't know if that's possible after what you've done."

'It might be time for you and I to go our separate ways"

Very good answers. And here I was thinking more like "You scum!"

Ask them if they've ever heard the proverb "Revenge is a dish best served cold." Then smile and walk away.

Benjamin, what does that mean? That they should watch their backs in the least expected moment?

"Is there a good reason that you do NOT owe me an apology?".

"I make no promises."

f**k You

"No."

What did the guy take from you, anyway?

Did you co-sign on a loan with him? Did he skip with the money, leaving you to pay back the loan?

That happened to me once.

You could be "professional" while making it clear that it will be a while until they earn your trust back (if they can). It depends on what they did.

There's too many variables here. As in, it depends on what they actually did and in what context. It's good to set boundaries with people, but they need to be attenuated to the situation at hand.

well kind of hard to say without knowing a little more detail of what they did.

Thank you all for the answers!! It's a very long story, basically landlord cheated me (I'm sueing).
