Has your "best friend" ever royally screwed you over and how did you cope with it?

My "best friend" and I were supposed to go to this mega sneak preview movie premier tomorrow night because her ex knows the sponsers hosting it *she supposedly called him and asked if we could go also and he told her not a problem* Tonight, she called me back and says that somehow only HER name got on the invite and I could go if I wanted *but no guarantee there'd be any additional free passes*. So I called her ex..he told me she only asked about getting HERSELF in, not me! Why the *@$_ should I go and look stupid if there aren't any more passes? I am so furious with her right now I can't see straight!! Am I over reacting? Has anyone else ever been screrwed over like this and what did you do>

Thanks for letting me rant..you gys are the best :)

Update:

Great answer so far everyone. *Waves hi to Mithril* Hope things are a little better on your end than the last time we spoke :)

What you say does make sence, but her ex is actually one of the nicest guys on the planet. He's gotten me into tons of other events before *during the time they were together and not* with no prob, so when he tells me she never said anything about me, I cant see why he'd lie. Course I dont want to think she did, but somebody isnt owning up. I'm still pretty ticked..even if a pass mysteriously turned up, I'd prob refuse to go right now..yeah, dumb on my part, I know, but it's the principal of the thing now

    Dude, that's sooooo not cool.

    But really there are two sides to every story. Sure, she might be the one at fault. Ever consider that her ex might be up to shenanigans? He tells her "not a problem", puts her name on the list and deliberately leaves yours off? Might sound far fetched, but if you two squabble at this thing, who's shoulder might she wind up crying on? Or maybe he might want alone time with her, some sort of romance rekindling at the sneak preview, and figures you might be a third wheel. Or he might be vengefully out to destroy her support network, one by one. Okay, I'm really stretching here, but I hate to see a friendship go down the tubes.

    But my advice is probably bogus...I've been screwed over more times than not. While my exs are generally a really cool bunch, one guy "friend", best friend, claimed to have a sisterly thing for me, then proceeded to trash me to everyone who seemed remotely interested in me. I could have really screwed him over quite a few times, but I never did. I really hate to be petty like that, and then I'd turn around and hear some new defamation of my character and every time I tried to talk it out, he acted so angry....it got kinda scary.

    Finally, I smartened up and realized that this guy wasn't my friend, and whatever feelings I had for him were about something I wanted him to be...not the person he actually was. He's not an evil guy, but he's not who I thought he was either. And in the light of my recent experience (meaning my ex), not worth the time.

    I really hope the troubles you have with your best friend are the result of an honest misunderstanding. I know you're bummed about missing out on the big sneak preview. I think you're reacting like anyone else would really--super bummed and p.o.'d!!!

    If it were me, I'd go and try to be cool. Maybe Mr. Ex will pull a hero act after all and get you in. I'd rather go and look stupid than stay home and fume. You never know. You might wind up having fun after all....and make some new friends while you're at it.

    I'm totally praying you get your pass!!! ;) All the best!!!!

    she kissed my boyfriend and lied about it.... at first i was mad at both of them but still remained in a relation ship with him. because every witness said it was her that really asked for it and tried to kiss him. but then i realized that your friends are the most important thing before boyfriends no matter what... so eventually after 2 mos of hating her i dumped my bf and became best friends with her and talked to her about everything that made me mad about her ....
