Can you have a succesful marriage if you have trust issues?

Ive wondered this also. My husband and I have been separated for a few months now, and are currently working on getting back together. Through all of this, there have been a lot of hurtful things said and done to me. Now im worried that if we DO get back together and try to make things work, how hard is it going to be to trust him again? How CAN i trust him again KNOWING what he has done in the past? That's the thing Im the most scared about. I trusted him completely before all of this happened and now I feel like it has been shattered!

Its tough, but sounds like he sticked to his word of sobriety! Congratulations! I would think that it sounds like you got through the trust issues already. But I totally know how you feel, hurt and dissapointed, even if it was a while ago, you still think of it and remember the pain it caused you. My mom is divorcing my father after over twenty years, so its never to late to get out for the sake of your sanity. Have you forgave him about it yet? Has he shown that he has changed?

I think that trust is one of the most important things in a relationship. It would be hard to continue a relationship if I didn't trust the person. Communication and honesty are important!

I think you have done really well to get that trust back because a successful relationship should be based on trust and if it's not there, it must take an awful lot of hard work to get it back again. And I hope your husband put in the most work to get you to trust him again!

A healthy marriage is communication, trust, and respect. If part of that is shattered, it may take along time to regain it again, perhaps never.

I don't personally think I could have a real good relationship with any one if I didn't completely trust them.

There's a possibility, if you both are really willing to give it a chance.

yes
