For My Own Good?

My friend 'Q' lied about me. He blamed things he said about people on me. I was lucky, people figured out the truth, who was lying. Friday night I forgave him, because one of my other friends said; "You can forgive but not forget" and then said that friends forgive each other.

Now I'm wondering if i should have. He didn't have a 'slip of the tongue' about a secret, it wasn't some minor thing. Was he ever really my friend, telling those lies for no good reason? Almost ruining my life? I canceled my forgiveness, and I told him why and he just hung up.

I have a tendancy to forgive 'Q' for anything because, to be quite honest, even though he's my friend i like him a lot. But if he wasn't loyal as a friend... I think I should get rid of the friendship. Permanently. If he could tell the lies for no reason...maybe it wasn't much of a friendship to start with. i t will be a wrench on me, but I'm starting to think its for my own good.

I would apprciate any solutions, suggestions or comments. This was nagging me and I couldn't fall asleep. Thanks all,
