Loyalty in friendship

Well it's been a couple Of days since I have posted anything. In these last few days I have had people come I me asking for advice on what thy should do about certain "friends" they have. It seems as though the talk I had with my father the other day has helped me give advice on what others can. With their relationships with their friends. As far as accepting relationships for what they really are, and not expecting to much from people So that you are not disappointed. I have a friend who just found out one of his best friends has slept with his sons mother, and got her pregnant. And hid this from him for about a year now. My friend is hurt and feels betrayed. It's hard because I can only imagine the frustration he feels, and I want to say beat him up, but in reality I know thy will never take away the hurt and betrayal he feels.
It's situations like that, that make me question loyalty in friendship. When do people not take a step back and see that they have crossed the line. Or people just not care? I feel like these kinds of things should only happen in movies, but unfortunately they don't. It's said because we walk around and call people our best friends, or even say we think of people as our family, and I know personally when I say those things I mean it. So to know that there are people that walk around saying it for fun, especially as adults, is sickening. People go crazy over things like this. My friend has no family, so his friends are like his family, and now the closest people to him have betrayed him. It just makes me question loyalty in friendship, and can we really trust everyone or jut our blood..... Or no one at all?
