How to Trust or Regain Trust

JEllis
Trust is a relationship is like unconditional love, it is automatic. It's only when you begin to distrust the other person is where the problem begins. Relationships, no matter what kind it is, it will not last if there is no trust. No relationship or marriage crisis appears overnight. Rather, the crisis builds slowly over time. One person is, usually, caught completely off-guard. . . not realizing there even was a problem. The other claims that he or she is tired of trying and trying. . . with no change. . . and has "given up." You see, the real damage is done when one person needs and expects something to change, but the other person is preserving the exact same things. For example, there is often a desire for a shift in the power structure of the relationship, but one person resists making any change. The other person who wants the change becomes more and more frustrated. This leads to a pattern where one person suddenly announces that the relationship is over, and the other person is unaware that there even was a problem. Regaining this trust happens slowly and over a period of time. Don't try to force any relationship, they should come easy, like you've know the person all you life.
