"A broken trust can be best described as a crumpled piece of paper. No matter how hard you try to straighten it out, it will never return on its true form."
Do you believe in this saying? I do 'cause once a person lied to you, deeply, I think there is no way you can give the same trust again.

once you lose trust in someone its very hard to get it back , it can be done but you have to go with the old saying forgive and forget , i personally like the one slap me once shame on me slap me twice shame on you . borders on turn the other cheek

Yeah, it's really hard. If you can't forgive and forget, the person will just be a big reminder to you of his/her lie.

if someone has an affair on the wife/husband/boyfriend/ galfriend etc.. thats almost unforgivable, but it happens and people work it out and sometimes it makes for a stronger relationship . not always, but sometimes . we all make mistakes and im a firm believer in second chances, blow that one and ill really take a step back .it all depends on the matter of trust thats broken, if its a teen thing, forget it blow it off but as an adult, you really have to decide whats worthy and whats not .

That's very well said. I do believe in second chances too but more than that, it's a no-no and it takes time to put back the trust again and its both parties' effort. It happens to some but not to all. Just hope everyone knows the value of trust.

I agree with this saying totally.TRUST is hard to establish ,but easy to break.
Maybe it needs hundreds of reasons and even sevral years to trust another one deep in you heart,or in your subconscious ,but ,it is just one reason or one second to break it.So ,every one should cherish the trust from others and keep grateful for it.
TRUST ,hardly come,but easily gone.

If you take away T from Trust it become Rust. T as truthfulness to each other to gain Trust. To gain trust again and if you really still care each other must learn to accept what has done and learn from the mistakes. Try to forgive with each other and the old that always saying but it is hard and that is try to forget. Because the scars of pain had cause of untrusted honesty.
^_^ Salamat!.... and Enjoy!.... myLot!....

Hi there, kababayan! You're right trust would become rust if it's gone. It's so important to be truthful even on a tough situation. Thanks, too. Have fun here in Mylot.

I agree. The insurance sales ladies are good at it. When buying their insurance, they promised a higher than bank interest, but with the down rating of bank, they go even faster. They never agree to withdraw, if any, they charge high cost, to satisfy their balance, and still earn to sacrifise the customers. I never trust them any more, esp. for programs of life insurance for the aged, at least in this country.

Looks like you had some experience with them. Well, at least, now you learned something. Just be sure that when you came across transactions like that again, think of it very carefully and not to trust easily.

yes you are right!especially in a relationship.if your partner betrayed you,it's hard to trust him/her again.if the person you love had an affair with other,how can you trust him/her again especially if he/she did this to you so many times.you will always suspect him/her even she's/he's not bad. doing anything.you can never put back the pieces of paper even you paste it with glue.maybe you can,but it doesnt look like before that is neat and straight.

I would have to agree with the statement. I think that once trust is gone, you can come close to what things used to be before betrayal occurred, but it is never really quite the same. I guess it may depend too on how serious an infraction of trust we are talking about?

Well, I guess it all applies to every level of trust. Trust, in general I mean. But, this really applies when a person so close to you, your very best friend or someone, say he/she lied about a crucial and vital thing that affects you greatly then eventually he/she say sorry. It would be really hard to forgive and when you forgive, it's hard to forget. He/she will be a big reminder of that lie. It takes a lot of time and effort.

I think trust is one of the key issues no matter if it's a spouse, b/f, g/f or child...and once that trust is broken...it can be almost impossible to fix. The saying you put sums it up pretty well.
