Does stabbing one's back have the same meaning as betraying someone? If so, could you give me some examples?

Yes! You're right. "Stabbing one's back" has the same meaning as betraying someone. This is used when you trusted someone, and then they do something to break that trust or go against you. Ex: I told Terri the plans to launch my new product, but she stabbed me in the back and stole my idea. Ex: I thought you were on my side! But you stabbed me in the back to get what you wanted. Ex: You want me to tell you what I'm doing, so you can turn around and stab me in the back later? Ex: I'm scared to trust you because I've been stabbed in the back before.
