- He wouldn't hurt me.
- If he did hurt me, he would be regretful and soothe me and work to fix the hurt.
- If he left, he would come back.
- He would be there for me.
- We could work out anything.
- He would hold me through the struggles.
- He would trust me to work my way back to him when I was hurt.
- Deep down in his core, he loved me.

Betrayal, as a form of deception, is the violation of a social contract (trust, confidence) that produces moral and psychological conflict within a relationship between individuals, organizations, or individuals and organizations.
Betrayal is both a "people" problem and a philosopher's problem. Philosophers should be able to clarify the concept of betrayal, compare and contrast it with other moral concepts, and critically assess betrayal situations. At the practical level people should be able to make honest sense of betrayal and also to temper its consequences: to handle it, not be assaulted by it. What we need is a conceptually clear account of betrayal that differentiates between genuine and merely perceived betrayal, and which also provides systematic guidance for the assessment of alleged betrayal in real life.
