Can broken trust be 'whole' again?

Have somebody broken your trust lately? Can trust, once broken, be perfect again? In my opinion, trust is like 'once you lose it, you lose it forever'. We can forgive people for breaking our trust towards them, but we tend to doubt people who have broken our trust more than ever. What do you think?

Yeah, just a day or two ago..I agree that it will be very hard to regain a broken trust but it is equally unjust to say that it should carry on forever. Make the person learn his lesson. Whats the point of forgiving in his every move, ul have ur doubts against them? just forget them if thats the case. same with the case of a stained white shirt. Lets open our mind that we dont easily throw it out. We will still apply some sort of bleaching or stain remover products just to get it back again. Same with a crunpled or used paper. We still use the back page before we throw it out completely. There's always a room for second chance. Lets consider the situation when we are the one who broken someone else's trust..didn't we also look forward on winning their trust again? Well, that the price we have to pay.. but what if their view on trust is just the same way as yours? then ul never have your chance and i must say that it is the "end" recently someone broke my trust but i dont put an end to our friendsip. i dont easily let go.. cause i knew the feeling. i once had broken someone's trust nd she just cant accept me again even how sincere i am. i never had a second chance. now i will be using the back page of the paper. im just waiting for the right time till he proven himself that he is worthy again of my complete trust.

We are the same. A crumpled up paper cannot be perfect again.

You'll always have a doubt if they are doing right. In time, they can prove themselves to be worthy. It does take a lot of time though. I'm still dealing with issues that happened five years ago. I am getting over it now, but it took this long to do it. He is constantly trying to prove himself to this day.

it really takes time to mend a broken trust. in my case i cannot trust the person again the same way i trusted him before. it's so hard to trust someone who broke you're trust. if you want to be trusted by other's then make up your attitude.
