Forgiveness is something we all must due. Bearing hard feelings is self-destructive. Like drinking poison and hoping the other person feels the effects. It’s short sighted, and only hurts you. So forgive them and bear no ill will towards them
Forgetting the betrayal is entirely up to you. You saw first hand how these “friends” treated you when they felt they had the upper hand. Now see how they betray themselves when the role is reversed. I prefer the company of dogs to snakes. A dog remembers a good deed and forgives the infrequent slips. But a dog also knows abuse and will Raheem die alongside the side of the road over tolerating abuse
A snake is nothing but deceit
So the choice is yours. I do not tolerate people who abuse my trust, or are reckless with my feelings. Nor should anyone else, imho
There are two very different issues at play
