Re: How can you really be sure to trust someone?
Mixedbeauty..............I hope, for the sake of your friend, that she soon develops the courage to ditch this guy (if she hasn't done so already). To a certain extent........wanting to stay with someone who blatantly disrespects you............MIGHT be an issue of lack of self-esteem/respect.
Or maybe it's simply that your friend has invested way too much heart into this relationship and she doesn't want to believe (is in denial) that all the time she put in was a complete waste. Maybe she'd like to believe that her spend efforts/time/emotions/energy had all been been put to good use and .........doesn't want to feel like a fool or that she was "led on" "taken for a ride".........and is trying to convince herself that the guy CAN change.
