Can you ever trust someone 100 percent?

I don't think that you can, I think you can get really close to 100 percent, but there is always that tiny tiny doubt in your mind. For example I have been with my girlfriend for a little over a year now, and love her to death. I would do anything for the girl. Our trust had gradually increased, and I basically do trust her 100 percent, I can't lie there is always that little doubt. The only person you are with your whole life, and control what is done is yourself. You don't live in the head of the person you want to trust, and you can't be with them every second, so how can you be completely assured that your trust is not being broken. Now I am probably making this seem bad. I know my girlfriend would never do anything to hurt me, and that's why I am so close to 100 percent trust. Now anyone that says they do trust someone 100 percent is just lying. How can you say that you have never wondered about what they were doing or things like that. Everyone knows that they do it, just some won't admit to it. Do you agree with me? Do you think you can ever fully trust someone? DO you trust someone 100 percent right now?

If may not trust you 100% but I agree with you 100%! I agree that you can get very close to it but human nature being what it is people will usually do something unexpected, out of character or completely opposite of what you might think they'd do. I don't think that people who say they trust someone 100% is automatically lying. Either they have never experience something unexpected from their loved one or they aren't really thinking very carefully about it. Love is truely blind sometimes. Though I trust my husband a great deal, closer to 100% than I've ever been to anyone else in my life, I'm realistic enough to remember a couple of times when he did something that made me shake my head in disbelief and it lowered my trust a small amount. I think your expectations of your girlfriend are very healthy and realistic. If you had said you trust her 100% I'd tell you to take your love blinders off! LOL

I have been married to my wonderful husband for just over 47 years and YES I DO trust him 100%. I have NEVER had the slightest reason NOT to trust him, and I know he feels the same way about me. I also have a friend and colleague whom I have known for about 20 years, and whom I also trust 100%.
