Just wondering if anyone on here was able to fully trust their SO after being lied to or cheated on ?
I've had 3 relationships in the last 4 years ( since my divorce ) Two of these people where not the kind of person they led me to believe when we first started dating. Needless to say I have some pretty strong trust issues. Does it go away with enough time ?

That is too bad you've had those experiences. I totally trust my husband. However I would say in general I can be very guarded with some people and sometimes experience has proven me right.

Hopefully you can find someone that is worthy of your trust.

Some can...some can't.

I've had my trust betrayed too many times by friends and by guys I have liked for it to fully recover. I know it isn't fair to hold against someone in the future but that pain is awful. Can never be too careful.

Trust should be earned, not given away so freely as some people do these days.

Sure you'll trust again, just don't be in such a big hurry to believe everything you hear going forward

Trust no one. Except those who have proven themselves.

Yes it can happen but it generally takes a long time and a very special person to get you past the trust issues.
The best you can do is be cautious but willing to give someone else a chance. Someone else is not the one who lied to you or cheated on you.
Just don't look for reasons to not trust and don't look for lies where there are none. Be patient and willing to trust until a reason is given by that particular person that they have lied or cannot be trusted.

i dont have that problem, because if someone lies to me or cheats on me, they become an ex so, and then they can do what ever they want with whomever they want.

This is great advice. It's one thing to be cautious and yet another to be constantly guarded. It seems like a lot of people these days, at least according to this board, are so afraid of their own emotions and being hurt that they never experience the joys of relationships.

Depends on the person. If you truly have not let go, then you truly cannot trust.

The only time you can trust is when you are most happiest, most carefree. So let go of the past pain so you can allow yourself to trust- trust yourself, trust the process, trust life and just be...
