Ranker Readers Share The Fictional Betrayals That Still Bother Them
At some point or another, we all experience the pain of a betrayal. Whether it's a significant other cheating on us, a friend going behind our back, or a roommate watching the new season of Stranger Things without us, it's something that happens to all of us. This profound breach of trust can leave deep scars that take time to heal, and more often than not the relationship is never the same again. And it's not only real-life betrayals that can take a toll on our mental well being; fictional disloyalty can actually hurt just as much. Ranker readers are opening up about the fictional betrayals that still bother them, and we're getting ridiculously upset reliving these moments. Which of these acts of deception, treachery, and duplicity also weighs heavy on your heart?
