(Editor’s Note: After reading this I chugged a quart of Bombay Sapphire, kicked a nun, and strangled the cutest, I mean the fucking CUTEST little kitten I could get my hands on. Then I curled up into a fetal position in the shower and wept.)

Throughout our lives me meet people who we make a connection with. We make a subconscious decision whether we want to become close with these people or not.

I've only every had 1 friend that I could truly call my best friend. I met him at a summer camp when I was 13 years old. That summer we cause a lot of trouble for the camp counselors and I really enjoyed hanging out with him.

I was happy to learn that he actually lived on the other side of town. We always joked that we had to go 100 miles away from home to meet a friend who lived 3 miles away.

Until high school we hung out every weekend all weekend and our friendship grew. Once we reached high school we had the majority of our classes together and we were practically inseparable. Nothing ever came between us and we never fought.

College came and went, we didn't go to the same college but we were only an hours drive apart. We got together when we could and shared some great times at all the college parties.

After college we both got jobs working in the same office building downtown so we decided it was a good idea to get an apartment together.

Things were pretty good. We lived together for almost 4 years. Eventually he met the right woman and they got married and now have a 3 year old son. He asked me to be his sons godfather because he trusted no one more and because I was like his brother.

The times, friendship, and live was good.

Now all the sudden last week I called him up to see when was a good time to drop off his Christmas/birthday present and his wife answered the phone.

Me: "Hi Kate, how's it going? Is Phil around?"

Kate: "Yeah he's here"

Me:"Can I talk to him?"

Kate:"No, and we both decided it's best if you never call or stop by here
again."

Me:"Heh, that's funny, quit joking around and get Phil on the phone"

Kate:<Click... Dial Tone>

I called back and the phone was off the hook, I figured this was a big joke like Phil is known to pull so I drove over to his place and although both cars were in the driveway no one answered the door.

"What could I do, I suppose this is for real", I thought to myself.

I went home and then on New Years Eve I was at a Party at a shared friends house. Many people came up to me and asked me how could I do the things I did, how could I force myself up my best friends wife? How could I be seen in public?

Shocked, I tried to compose myself and asked these people to please fill me in on what they heard.

They told me these elaborate stories that while my friend was outside a few weeks back when I went over to help him hang his Christmas lights, I stayed inside and was forcing myself sexually onto his wife while my godson was right there.

I couldn't believe what I was hearing. I have known since Kate & Phil got together that she never liked me, but would she stoop so low as to make up a horrible story such as this?

Worst yet, was Phil so blind that he would believe something like this about me when I never gave him any reason in our friendship whatsoever to not trust me?

The answer to both must be yes.

To quote Sir Arthur Conan Doyle - "When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth."

Basically, I am hurt that this has all happened. Eventually I will get over it. I just can't believe I was slandered like this from the person I trusted the most. It troubles me that I was so easily cast aside and betrayed on an accusation.

He could have asked me what happened. To which the answer is nothing.

I told everyone at the party that if they wanted to believe something like this, I wasn't going to defend myself to people who apparently have a low opinion of me. I told them, I believe my past actions in life should speak for what kind of man I am.

Regardless, my now ex-friend has made up his mind, he has gone too far and even with all our history together we are no more.

I never expected him to turn on me like this.

My advice to you today is, the person you trust the most, can in fact be your worst enemy.

Be careful out there folks.
