It carries a sense of mock betrayal and is almost exclusively used in informal social settings. It is rarely used to describe oneself, as it functions as a critique of someone else's behavior.
Examples
You've disappeared again, you really prioritize your partner over your friends!
Ever since they started dating, they've been ignoring us for their partner.
