... Depends on the circumstances probably. If the betrayal was huge (your spouse just revealed that he has a whole other family in another state), then maybe it will never happen. If the betrayal was smaller (your best friend ditched you to go out with a guy), maybe not very long. I think that a lot of thought has to go into trusting someone again. It isn't so much a matter of time as a matter of... is the person deserving of your trust? No one should ever walk back into an abusive situation thinking "this time it will be okay" ... maybe if there has been extensive counseling and behavior therapy... but you don't just try to solve the same problems in the same way and expect things to be different. That is not to say we shouldn't be forgiving and compassionate towards others... we should. But forgiveness and risking your own safety (emotional OR physical), or the safety of children are totally different things. You can learn to love and forgive people while still keeping yourself safe, and recognizing that there is a problem.

Is a friend meant to betray you?

No, good friends should not betray you and should be honest; loyal and reliable. However, people are only human and can make a mistake, but as long as they apologize and learn from that mistake then you should learn to forgive them because you are not perfect either. Example: If a friend of yours is bullied or threatened to betray you they are afraid and may well go through the betrayal. Another example: If you told your friend a secret and trusted in their honesty and loyalty and they told someone else this is sad to see, but your friend made a mistake and if they apologize then you should accept the apology and be a little more aware of what you do tell them until you can trust them again.

What does it mean when your boyfriend says he doesn't trust you?

It may be that it is just his nature not to trust people he hasn't known very long, but it is very likely that he had a bad experience with a woman who betrayed his trust and he doesn't want to be burned again.

What should you do when you broke your husbands trust and you love him and want to be with him again?

Once someone has broken a trust with someone they love then it's difficult for that person to trust that individual again. Communication is the best solution to see if your husband will continue on with the relationship or not. It will take a long time for him to ever trust you again, but, if you love each other it's worth it. People are only human and sometimes they make mistakes and something was missing in your marriage either by you or your husband or possibly both and cheating never resolves any marriage problems. Tell him you realize what a terrible mistake you've made and you have learned from that mistake and want to gain his trust back again. The decision is up to him. If he decides to take you back then it would be wise to seek marriage counseling so both of you can learn the tools for a successful marriage.

How would you trust a person again?

Gaining trust again in someone who misused the privilege is hard. The best thing is to hold them accountable. This will be very difficult because the person who lost the trust is not always willing to be held accountable on a long term basis. However, you should think very hard (talk to people who you trust and respect to help you come up with an accountability process) about what it's going to take for you to gain trust in this individual again. I suggest you start a journal and write down what will make you feel comfortable, within reason. Explain to the person... this is what you have to start doing to make me feel comfortable with you again. If they're not willing to do what you've asked, I would ask for a break in the relationship (if at all possible), and tell them that you have some thinking to do. Best of luck, ~A~


What do you do when you think your boyfriend has feelings for someone else in a long distance relationship?

You ask him. Long distant relationships are all about trust. If he does admit he has feeling for someone else, you two can talk about it. If not, you'll know. If you don't think you can trust him on the phone or on the net, you should get out of the long distant relationship, one way or another. That's my opinion


What do you do if your boyfriend cheated?

When your boyfriend cheats on you, ask yourself one important question. "Do I love him enough to stay with him & trust him again?" If the answer to that question is yes, then you work it out with him. Trust him, but keep your eyes open. If the answer to that question is no, then you move on. Clear your mind, then find someone else. Do NOT stay with him and cheat on him because in the long run, you will only be hurting yourself.


How can you regain trust in your best friend when they have lied to you they know you know but won't confront the issue?

First, they are not your best friend if they lied to you and won't admit it. It is up to them to prove themselves to you. It takes a long time for someone to rebuild trust after they have broken it. Ask yourself this, if they lied to you once, how do you ever know they are telling the truth or when they will lie again.

It's pretty hard, but if you just get a copy of it, it would be pirated. Don't try to do premium account generators like on youtube. Good things could be on mineshafter.appspot.com. I dont use it, but i've heard of it.
