This has been one of the worst weeks since prior to my coming out days.
I betrayed a friend by posting pics of him on his sisters private photo site after he told me not to post his pics on photo sites like Flickr several months ago. I removed them all from the FlickR site at that time.
Last August, I posted these pictures to his sister's private photo site because she gave me the password (to post family pics I took at a birthday party at her house) and I thought she would think these other pictures cute and funny, I had no intention to go out and hurt him. These were pics of him in a womens wig from several years ago at Halloween and him oogling dancers at some bars. Some of his brother bartending shirtless too. He is out to his family as is his brother.
Last week she gave the password of the site to people who had taken pics at a family gathering so a lot of people had access to the site now. She saw the pics and was surprised and told my friend about it. After that he em,ailed me and some other friends about my being a snake in the grass and backstabber and that I am passive-aggressive (true) and using this to get back at him instead of confronting him.
I emailed him stating that it was poor judgement, not maliscioiusness, and I did not set out to hurt him. He sent an email back stating it wasnt a matter of forgivess but trust. He forgives me but doesnt trust me anymore. He still won't talk to me. I have called several times to apologize to him but no response back. We have been friends for ten years and I value his friendship and do not want to lose it.
