Do you trust anyone with your life?

The only person I truly trust with my life is probably my mother. Well, she gave it to me in the first place so she'll probably want to protect it more than anyone else. Obviously when I'm married my husband should be next on the list, but again I still think that my mother would come tops.
What about you guys? Is there anyone in particular that you'd trust with your life?

yes, and that would be my mother and my boyfriend. And some close friends. But my mom would definitely on my top list. I know she'll give up her life for me...she already kinda did that for me. Cause, she had a problem with her heart and its not safe for her to have a child...my aunt even told her to have an abortion, but she didn't. And I love her and trust her so much for that.

Awww, that's a nice story. You've always known that you were loved, then. The bond between you and your mom must be very strong now. And yes, she has sacrificed her life for yours, and she hadn't even met you yet. That's a mother's love for you.

I trust my "close" friends and I trust my wife, also my son. no one else :)
Could trust people I'm unsure about.

Fair enough. I think that people tend to think their friends will have their backs no matter what, and maybe you've got friends who will, but generally I think friends will do the best they can but are limited to how much they want to sacrifice for their own friends. I know from my own point of view that I wouldn't trust myself with any of my friend's lives. I don't think it's selfish, it's just what it is. I reckon we all think we'd make the best friends, but when it comes down to it we'd probably only go to lengths to protect our long term spouses and (in most cases) our parents.

Yeh, you're right, I think parents are the ones you should trust most. If I had a good relationship with my father I might have included him, but the fact is I'd never trust him with my life, or anyone else's life who is close to me, lol.

Is it the time factor that lets you know who you can and cannot trust, or is it the quality of your friends, from your perspective? I have friends I've known for pretty much all their lives, some I've known for 9 years, some I've known for a couple of years, (good friends only), and I wouldn't trust them with my life at all. It's not saying anything about them as friends, it's just saying that the type of people they are are not the type of people you'd trust with your life, they're like me in that respect. I know it sounds as though they're not good friends, but I think they do their duty as my mates and that's it, nothing else is required or expected of them. But obviously if there are things you and your friends have been through and they've shown themselves to be very trustworthy then that's all that matters.
