What caused a lack of trust between Sparta and Athens?
In about 460 BCE, after the Persian invasion had been repelled by the combined Greek forces, Sparta was facing a revolt by its serf population in Messene, and making heavy weather in putting it down. Athens offered to help and sent an expeditionary force to reinforce the Spartan forces. The Athenians were very adventurous in their operations, and showed up Spartan methods, which was based on trying to force a pitched battle with an elusive opposition which declined to make itself such a target. There is also a suggestion thet the Athenians showed some sympathy for the Messenians. The upshot was that Sparta invited the Athenians to go home, and the usual cooperative spirit between the two cities soured. After peace was finally made with the Persians in 449 BCE, Athens converted the anti-Persian Delian League which it led into an empire of its own, continuing to levy the war fund from the 200 cities of that league to use for its own benefit and maintaining a strong navy to enforce the annual collection of money. With this strength, Athens aggressively interfered in the affairs of the cities to which Sparta was allied in the Peloponnesian League, particularly Corinth. The Peloponnesian League members urged Sparta to help them stand up to Athens. A cocksure Athens persisted in interfering in other cities, and this came to a head when Athens banned Megara, a Peloponnesian League member, from trade with cities in its empire, which would destroy Megara. The Peloponnesian League demanded Sparta act, Sparta demanded Athens back off, Athens refused, war ensued.
What brought Sparta and Athens together as allies before they became enemies?
The Persians tried to control the incessant wars between the Greek city-states which spilt over into the Persian Empire, disrupting its peace and prosperity.

Athens also provided initial support to Sparta when it faced internal revolt, however this ended when Athens began establishing an empire of its own out of the Greek cities liberated from the Persian control.

What is the relationship between Athens and Sparta after the war?

They joined together in repelling the Persian invasion, and Athens provided military support to Sparta in putting down its serf rebellion. Things went sour during this espedition and Sparta sent the Athenians home.

What were Athens and Sparta?
Athens and Sparta were the two pre-eminent city-states of ancient Greece. Separated by the mountainous terrain of the Balkan peninsula, the city-states were their own autonomous countries, who only occasionally cooperated to fight common foes (such as the Persians). The two are often seen as opposites: Sparta as the military kingdom that championed the warrior, and Athens as the enlightened democracy that valued knowledge, law, and peace. Sparta had the strongest army, Athens had the strongest navy. Greece needed both of these outlooks or it would not have survived.
