There are various levels of betrayal. For instance, a loyal friend can betray a confidence. We may be hurt, but the years of loyalty should not end the one act of disloyalty especially if it was not maliciously done.
A family member, or close friend, may consider another disloyal if they do not take their side on matters that are of conscience, such as political choices.
Some Bible cases of blatant disloyalty would be those of Judas, Delilah and Absalom with Ahithophel.
Some Bible cases of disloyalty out of fear or discernment.
Abigail was intelligent and sensible and beautiful. She acted wisely when her husband, Nabal refused to give food and provisions to David and his men after their kind acts to him, so David and his men were going to kill them. She stopped David from becoming blood guilty.

They were immature in the beginning, but later on they had learned how to carried their own cross.
Matthew 10:38Whoever does not take up their cross and follow me is not worthy of me.
Mark 14:72Immediately the rooster crowed the second time. Then Peter remembered the word Jesus had spoken to him: “Before the rooster crows twice you will disown me three times.” And he broke down and wept.
Luke 22:32But I have prayed for you, Simon, that your faith may not fail. And when you have turned back,strengthen your brothers.”
John 21:17The third time he said to him, “Simon son of John, do you love me?” Peter was hurt because Jesus asked him the third time, “Do you love me?” He said, “Lord, you know all things; you know that I love you.” Jesus said, “Feed my sheep.
The origin of the symbol comes from the Catholic tradition that Simon Peter was crucified upside down, as told by Origen of Alexandria. The tradition first appears in the "Martyrdom of Peter", a fragmented text found in, but possibly predating, the apocryphal Acts of Peter, which was written no later than 200 A.D. It is believed that Peter requested this form of crucifixion as he felt he was unworthy to be crucified in the same manner that Jesus died. As such, some Catholics use this cross as a symbol of humility and unworthiness in comparison to Jesus.
