I believe that every relationship is based on TRUST. Once this is blemished, there will be no way to fix it but would only get worse (like a mirror that has cracked). People can still stay in a relationship even when the passion of love is gone. There is still friendship left because there is respect...and respect only stays there when there is trust. Thus, if you think that there is even the slightest hint of doubt in your relationship, there is a great chance that the relationship wouldn't last. Don't you think that's such a total waste of time, effort and emotions?

Although i agree with many things you have said before i feel the assumption that trust is something that cant be gained over is false. I will say this though it is very very hard and more often than not it cant be regained but if the two people in a relationship want the trust to come back and are really willing to try for it, i believe it will regenerate. With this said i think if both (not just one person) is willing to try to make things go back to normal then it is not a waste of time. But if only one party is, then you have a problem and might aswell jump out of the relationship or jhust stay there for comfort untill you find someone else.
cheers

Yes, I have actually realized that I should have not made a conclusion there. There are still relationships that could work after trust has been broken, but then perhaps 1 in 100? Or less? But still, I know, not enough to qualify absolute deduction that once trust is broken, it can't be regained. Relationships can still be worked out because there's always hope. I just wish that humans could get over human failings and not commit the same mistakes again, in order to regain trust. Thanks once again for the great response!

Hello there!(",)
At some point I do agree with you. Trust is the driving force for a relationship to last. When trust is broken, it may be hard to restore it. We have to earn it once more to the person we owe.
Trust is important, and so is forgiveness.(",)

Hi, Lani! I agree with you. If let's say trust is broken, it would now depend on the 'forgiveness' factor which is very important. There has to be a great amount of forgiving, then, in order to regain trust. Thanks for responding, and happy myLotting!

Trust is definatly earned, but people make mistakes. If the person is truely sorry and willing to repent and make amends, then it is possible for them to re-earn the trust that was broken. Everyone deserves a second chance, if they are willing to earn it. But to say sorry without changing their actions isn't going to cut it. They have to prove themselves, and WANT to be forgiven.

I have the feeling that you say this with conviction because you have actually experienced this. For that, I believe you, because experience would be the wisest basis before making conclusions. I was wrong then in believing that once trust is broken, it couldn't be regained. I just hope that with human weakness, old mistakes wouldn't be repeated again. Thanks for the response!
