Of course it's happened before. As we grow as a community, in this game and others, we will eventually develop friendships with our peers and form mutual bonds. It doesn't have to be a relationship; a close friendship is enough for most. There's people I met back in Vanilla WoW that I RPed with and am still in contact with to this day. We may not roleplay, but we do chat at each other on occasion.
With such strong bonds comes the inevitability of being hurt, knowingly or unknowingly, by the other person. If I'm aware that they'd intentionally doing it, then most of the time I just drop them. I don't care to associate with people that go at lengths to willingly hurt me and people I know.
If I know that it was an accident, I try to look past it. People mess up. That's just a fact of life, and I understand that.
As for how I deal with it? That also depends. Losing friends is rough, especially when it's someone you've known for years and you talk to on a daily basis. I tend to just try to busy myself by finding other things to fill that void/gap that is suddenly there. Going to the gym, playing other games, trying to find other people to hang/do things with, anything really. I personally suggest any sort of physical workout, as it will help you feel better in general!Â
I also try to talk to the individual about it if it's someone I care to keep around. Sometimes you have to be willing to give them time, especially if it's a mutual falling out. If not, I do what I can and try my best to move on.
