Jilt \JILT\ - to drop (someone, such as a lover) capriciously or unfeelingly.

Brenda caught Mordecai, her boyfriend of seven years, in the act of cheating. The other girl, Kris, was a friend that Brenda had met recently, and Mordecai was someone who had pledged his undying love to Brenda. He had even promised to marry her. Yet, Brenda eventually found herself jilting Kris, who wasn't even aware that Mordecai was in a relationship. Kris was aware, however, that her doctor recently revealed she had HPV. So, all three people are terrible. 

Jilt, btw.
