My friend danced with my rapist last night and is now friends with him on Facebook. Am I being unreasonable for being annoyed at this? I feel that she has betrayed me and is very stupid as I have told her about him.

This is not unreasonable at all. She’s your friend, and she should support you. The very least she could do is not develop a relationship with someone who raped you. That’s incredibly shitty. I would view it as a betrayal too. Unfortunately, abusive people never seem to have a problem attracting others, even when people know about their behaviors. I don’t know why this is, but it’s definitely scary for her to be hanging around with him. Ugh. Did you talk to her about it?
