Betrayal would be a different sort of sick.

One thing I am certain of, I do not want to be betrayed, but thats quite hard to say casually, at the beginning of a relationship.

By betrayal, I mean promising to be on your side, and then being on somebody else’s.
Betrayal is one of my biggest fears. Betrayal happens on many different levels all the time, and there is no worse feeling than realizing someone you thought you could trust has gone against you.

It is too maddening. I've got to fly off, right now, to some devilish navy yard, 3 hours in a seasick steamer, & after being heartily sick, I'll have to speak 3 times, & then be sick coming home. Still, who would not be sick for England?
War in the end is always about betrayal, betrayal of the young by the old, of soldiers by politicians, and of idealists by cynics.
For only when faithfulness turns to betrayal And betrayal into trust Can any human being become part of the truth.
