How can someone say they trust you, yet not have any respect for the trust you have in them?

I managed to get hold of something rare which I knew my bestest and trusted friend (Z) would really appreciate.

I told them that I trusted them not to tell anyone about it, to which Z said 'Thank you'.

I then found out from a recently new friend (B) (who didn't know I was a friend of Z) that Z had shared the information with B, because B shared the information with me.

I am now no longer friends with B because B is annoyed I didn't tell B that I knew Z.

And Z says they don't trust me as much as they did because I didn't tell Z that I was friends with B.

I hope that makes sense and someone can enlighten me as to how Z could've said they trusted me in the first place yet not respect me or my trust in them.

Update:

B and I became friends because I was interested in B's work, and I knew that B was a friend of Z.

I didn't tell B that I was a friend of Z because I didn't want questions to be asked about Z and I didn't want B to tell me about Z.

I also didn't tell Z because I knew that Z would think we would be talking about Z, which we weren't.

If B had been mentioned Z then i would've told B i knew Z.

Update 2:

yes epe, Z did tell B not to say anything, but B still told me, I didn't want B to know that I knew because I had promised the person I had got hold of the rarity from that I wouldn't tell anyone, but I trusted Z enough not to say anything.

Thing is because I have known Z for so long I know that there is a trust thingy still there to salvage.

Update 3:

and I agree with you also epe that B definitely can't be trusted, as B had only known me a short time, yet B betrayed the trust of Z by telling me about the rarity.

How many other peopled has B told..........
