Call me in 2 yrs and let me know how that is working for you.
It's been working great for months. Hopefully it will still be working great in 2 years. That's why we've been actually communicating with each other (shocking I know) about how we view relationship issues, and we talk about how we expect to be treated. Just trying to form a good foundation to build on.

My girlfriend and I were discussing building trust in our relationship, and we like this list of good behaviors to build trust
Any thing you would add to the list?
Be consistent.
Be on time.
Do what you say you will do.
Don't lie -- not even little white lies to your partner or to others.
Be fair, even in an argument.
Be sensitive to the other's feelings. You can still disagree, but don't discount how your partner is feeling.
Call when you say you will.
Call to say you'll be home late.
Carry your fair share of the workload.
Don't overreact when things go wrong.
Never say things you can't take back.
Don't dig up old wounds.
Respect your partner's boundaries.
Don’t be jealous.
Be a good listener.
While I respect your list there are times where you can't call I know I can't always call when I say I'm going to, My GF is the same she stays so busy herself so in a perfect world that might work. Thr rest I agree with. When people are having a disagreement it's so easy to say something that your going to regret, & it's not untill after ir comes out of your mouth that you know you have said it. I have foot in mouth disease myself. Being jealous is one that can be very hard at times but that's where trust comes in.

Yeah the phone calls was pretty big for us because we are both young professionals and we work crazy hours and never know when we're coming or going.

I am curious as to how well organized other parts of your relationship are. Not being silly- just asking since we are on the list subject.
Here are my contributions:
If ***** hits the fan, don't break this list out of your back pocket and tear it to shreds while walking away
properly communicate and don't assume that the other knows the point you are making
don't push buttons
don't add vegetables to food despite saying not to countless of times
if we are both on the couch and one falls asleep, wake that person up before you go to bed
be consistent in salt/sugar content when preparing food
dont' try to deliberately catch each other in the act of pleasuring ourselves
let each other know that you are having a bad day and give each other space
don't have try have an hour phone convo on our way home to see each other
Don't walk in on each other in the bathroom no matter how long we have dated
if you say hurtful things (which will happen) be decent enough to apoligize after.
and there is more- but as you get more involved, these things will definitely help.
