Can aelationship survive without trust?

I was a little confused my friend right after running an eye on this... so I think of this whole thing over again... Here I go: if right then you put trust to the person, right you have that relationship, it might end up and would not last long... why? Because you might expect this thing in the freshness of your relationship and one could not give you... he/she would break this and you would be sorry and regret the whole thing. On the other hand, if it is started love, the you would understand him/her, and there is no reason for the relationship to last long... Thank you for the nice question my friend sarah...

There are relationships without trust. They still survive due to other factorshat still bind the relationship together. There are many ways in which trust can be broken, and it may have nothing to do with one or both sides being unfaithful. It may be as simple as breaking promises made to the partner. In many of this type of relationship the two sides involve know what to expect when they do or say something. This expectation makes them become tolerant towrds the shortcomings of each other, even though there is a certain degree of mistrust. The possibility is that they may hold on to the belief that a person is innocent unless proven guilty. Circumstantial evidence is insufficient for them to break their relationship. Strangely enough there are couples like this who live a fairly happy life.

Hi sarahruthbeth22, I don't think a relationship is a healthy one when without trust. However, I do know some people get along well and their relationship is not based on trust. I think it depends on the characters of the persons involved and how deep the love is of one side. Sometimes one of the partners love the other side so much, even though the trust is not there, he/she does not want to end the relationship. Consequently, the one who love much usually contributes a lot more. He/she will try his/her very best to accept everything that the other side has done. He/She knows that the other side is not worth to trust but the only way to be together is to adjust himself/herself in order to accept the si. Have a nice day! agonyaunt69

no, i don't think so. but if the relationship is between liars and cheaters and they are comfortable with what they are doing, probably so. but only on a limited basis. that's what you are also saying, the purpose of the relationship can also overshadow the need for trust. but generally, without trust, there is no relationship.

well, I don't think a relationship can survive without trust. trust is the basic foundation of any relationship. what's the point of relationships when you can't trust each other?

I think it is very important if not fundamental. I don't think a couple could survive much if they don't trust eachother , the missing trust would probably lead the two members of the couple into frequent arguments and jealousy till one of them or probably both of them will get tired of the situation and will decide to split. In a couple you must really trust your lover in order to go on in a peaceful relationship.

For me it is impossible for a relationship to last without trust. Trust is earned. It should be given after you fully know a person and his capability. It includes loyalty and being true to their feelings. If you have been in a relationship even for six months there is already a trust there. Why would you stay with a person if you do not trust him or her, it is like playing games without trust. How can you keep a secret with someone whom you do not trust, how can you say you love her or him if you do not trust her? I believe it is always with trust.

I think any good relationship whether it is based on it at the beginning or not (we all know people get married for different reasons) cannot survive without the two components of trust and respect.... Whether this is established over a little of time or starting the marriage it has to be put into place..... I was in a marriage for 14 years and eventually loss both of these with the physical, mental abuse not to mention the cheating..... A marriage just cannot survive and if it can then there are better people out there than me.....

In my opinion without trust..why bother. From the time my kids have been small I have drilled into them that the single most important thing in our relationship is trust and that it is also the most fragile and the hardest to re-gain once broken.

If any relationship is not based on trust, what is the use then? I know trust is very important, whether it is a lovers relationship or just friends. It is very important. TATA.

Hi Sarah Ruth Beth, Any relation is based on trust, if you do not trust that person he/she would not stay overnight in their house or travel anywhere with them. Trust definitely is the main grounding structure to start a relationship , romance, fun, future and depending on each other are just the pillars to hold it up, but without trusting the opposite person you cannot even start the relation. Later what happens that depends on us and sometimes god.

I don't think a relationship can last without trust. Trust is very important. Without it, there will always be jealousy, arguments, and mis-judgement. If you trust your partner, most likely you will not be jealous to someone close to your partner and that could lead to lesser confrontation, arguments and conflicts in the future.

I do agree that trust is an important factor in every relationship. None should break the trust of another. I do not believe in trusting the other blindly, be it a friend, a companion, a relation or a spouse. I trust them not on the premise that they would never break my trust, but on the premise, what if they break my trust. I do not wish to be in for shocks and surprises. I would know then what I must do at least.

If it's a just-for-fun relationship,then you don't need the trust in this!Other than that,no matter what the relationship is:love,friendship or else,it won't be able to survive without trust...

dear sarah, first is respect, second is trust, these are very major components needed in a relationship. it will be hard without these two for a relationship to survive. ann

for me. its a big no. because it wont work if you dont trust a person, who will you say i love you if you dont believe on that person, its hard right?

I think relationships can survive without trust but I think it always works better if you can trust each other.

if you don't have trust you don't have anything

I believe that in any relationship bounded with trust has always an affirmation that it is worth having one. Trust brings confidence in a relationship. This helps the partners to accept and overcome any fears in their lives. This gives hope and many realizations that a relationship that is worth having really defines trust and good communication. If a relationship has no trust at all, then the possible effect is doubts,confusions and arguements. Sometimes in a relationship that practice this key factor. Tend to be a relationship that is growing far beyond what had expected and the kind of love they share unleash the truth about themselves. With regards about loosing or gaining in a relationship, I can say that it depends on the partners. Trust has nothing to do if both of them would not use it as one tool in a relationship that keeps them longer. Trust identifies the kind of relationship one has and this will be one of the basis in both life struggle.

I think you may be confusing "relationship" with "acquaintance". An acquaintance is someone known to you but not necessarily very close. Your gas station attendant or check out girl at a grocery store might qualify. There is no need for trust because there is no real relationship. A relationshihp implies an association, connection, involvement, dependence, kinship.....all qualities that require trust if they are to sustain what two people have together, whether it is friendship, love, the mechanic that has worked on your car for years. If you don't have trust, you don't have a relationship, you have an acquaintence...which isn't important enough to worry if you lose it or not. Bottom line - you MUST have trust to have a relationship.
