what does it take to TRUST your partner back?

everybody deserved a second chance.. if you already forgive him, it means also that give also your full trust to him.. what you have to do is to pray for your partner changes..that God will give him strength to fight against temptation..to fight his wickedness and to be truth to his promises..

I know it must really be hard for you to trust him back after what happened, but then we are just human so we make mistakes. Maybe he hid that from you for a certain reason, although he should not have done so in the first place. Well, as hurtful as it may be, we should accept the fact that life goes on and that we need to move forward. Just like what the others said, it will really take time, but then if you love each other truly, everything will eventually work out for the both of you. This definitely involves risking your feelings again but do not let your relationship for years just go into waste because of one incident. Try taking some yoga sessions, I heard it will help you relax and take your mind off of disturbing/haunting thoughts and do pray. I hope this helps..

I understand where you are coming from. I can't answer this without knowing what it was he was hiding from you and then possibly trying to understand just why he felt the need to hide it.

I think that there are alot of people out there that have problems with the trust issue todo with their partners aswell as their partners have the same problem with them.I think that when the trust has been lost there will always be doubt with the other person and it is a very hard thing to trust the person again,you really have to work at the trust issue you have no matter what broke that trust to begin with.

Its really difficult to give your 100% trust to the person you love after betrayal. Chard and I been together for almost 6 years and I have had forgiven him when he cheated on me. But everything he's out of town, I always have in mind that he's just there screwing with another girl again. And I wasn't wrong, he did it again and get that girl pregnant. From there, I ended our relation and stay single all this time.. For you Geonelynn, you need to trust him. If he will cheat or lie to you, then you cannot do something about that. But always give it another try. Once, you're fed up and see yourself like a poor gal begging for love then its your time to decide whether you will continue or not. Well, good luck to you and i do hope for your happiness.

There's always a reason behind trust issues in a relationship... mostly happens when a man lies through his teeth to get away with stuff and gets caught... once you break trust... very rarely can you earn it back

He will have to earn the trust back and that is going to take time. There will be times when you will question him and he should expect that because he has betrayed you. I suppose it also depends on what it was he was hiding from you. It is good that you have forgiven him, but now you just have to try and work on forgetting and moving forward. Like I said, it will just take time.

is this something about cheating? having a third party issue? fidelity is connected with love. my husband and i had also an agreement that is if someone breaks that trust, it's gonna be hard to believe or to be of confident again. it's like a glass, we can't fix it and bring it back to its very original form. to forgive is easy but to forget isn't. i guess your partner should work hard to earn that trust again. maybe give him the hard time to work for that so that he'll learn the lesson.

If you really want to live your relationship truly, then its better to forget what was happened before and try to concentrate how to improve it now . You should give one chance to prove him back and for this you just forget everything of past though I know its hard to forget, but you should try to forget ...think may be some good reason was there behind hiding the things

You know even though you two had an agreement in the beginning you have to understand that the thought of doubt tends to linger in the minds of those who worry that something such as a painful secret. Try to see it from their eyes if you are getting into a realationship you want everything to go smoothly right?? Then you have a secret in your life that could pull the person emotions away from you, would you honestly tell the person and risk losing them?? Most likely not it is a calculated risk, but needed, he was worried that he might lose you so he waited to tell you when he was nearly sure he wouldn't lose you. It's better late then never as one would say. I think that you should stay and try to slowly earn your trust back. Let the love of your partner out weight the haunting. I'm behind you 100% you should stay with the one that makes you happy but be sure that there is nothing else that your partner is hiding. Feel free to come to me with anymore issues ^-^
