When your best friends stabs your back

By Bill Odunga

This whole thing about being cheated on by your best friend is getting too old. It is a relationship relic that has outlived its time. A friend planting a knife on one’s back is a story that has been retold in so many versions that it has lost its sheen. It is so stale that it has grown moulds. But then time and time again, we are thrilled at ordeals of friendships broken, trust bludgeoned and honour ridiculed — often by the last person you would expect.
