That depends. From an acquaintance or someone not really part of one’s life? Not long. Now, if my wife would do that, after 25 years together? That’s a different story.
That would depend mainly on the magnitude of the betrayal, and maybe on whether one is in danger of letting that person do it again. Often, I think the best advice is “Forgive, but don’t forget.”
Tough question. For me it depends on who is involved and how betrayed I feel. It may sound harsh but if I really feel betrayed, I don’t think I can ever forgive and I would move away from that person. But I appreciate not every situation is that easy and I’ve been lucky to be able to move away.
I don’t believe in holding grudges. Dwelling on what a person did to you is not healthy. Having said that, I would say Forgive but don’t forget. Especially towards toxic People. Stay away from users, abusers and those who manipulate you. Learn the Lesson and move on.

What if your boss betrayed you in some fashion?

I’d be pissed. I’d let him/her know it too. If it came down to it, and became contentious, I’d have to consider leaving.

I think I agree with you. Of course it depends on how one defines betrayal, but if it were egregious I don’t see sticking around.

So then how long is appropriate for allowing this type of situation to impact you?

I”m like you, when I label you as being out, then you are out. When trust is broken it is really tough to get back in my good graces.
