Someone said they'd be there for you, you trusted and counted on them, yet they weren't there for you?

They express they love and care for you yet they're idea of love is sharing and being there during fun, lighthearted times and you're healthy.
Yet, it comes to be discovered they can't be counted on or there for you during uncomfortable, challenging life talks, moments or times when you're sick.

Still in all, there are "gifts" of lessons learned from these experiences. "Gifts" of lessons and traits learned of . . .
***.Discernment. Bringing wisdom and awareness into foundation while coming to know and see what a person is authentically about.
***.Realizing which ones are better kept at a distance, or away from altogether.
***.Knowing your own values. Do the personal values, goals and strengths of you and the other person "yoke" together well?
***.Awareness to not be judgmental. A person is who they are.
***.Knowing friendship and love may be felt yet that doesn't mean the person is right for you on deeper level.
***.Expectations. You may desire and hope another to be certain way, be there for you. Yet, if it's discovered they are of "lesser" ability to personally or emotionally be there for you, then see that and not "attach" or have deeper level expectations of that person.
***.Discovering which are "fair weather" types and those who can really be counted on in "all weather". Realizing which ones are which thus expectations and "judgements" are'nt there to effect relationship and/or cause you grief or hurt.

Have you had personal experience of trust being "betrayed". Either you towards another or another towards you?
