How fragile is this ‘trust’ thing!! Sometimes it just get shattered like a glass bowl for no reason and sometimes it survives all the stormy seasons and stays firm.
Do you feel it can be repaired once broken?

Re: Trust
why not samad bond? :-|
Re: Trust
Trust is more akin to samad bond as both of them take a while to really glue together :)
Re: Trust
^ I like that analogy. So are you implying it could be repairable?
Re: Trust
is he back yet
Re: Trust
Depends on both sides, if the person who broke it is willing to put an effort to show he/she can be trusted, that means not just talking, not just words but deeds.
And it depends on the person whose trust was broken too. If that person is capable of trusting the other again after whatever happened between them.
Re: Trust
If you're already in a marriage, its easier to get past a breach in trust, than if you're dating. If you're dating, then kiss it goodbye if you're to admit to the person that trust was broken.
Re: Trust
^ thats not necessarily true
you can build it up but it would probably take a long time
Re: Trust
personally speaking - it is very hard for me to trust people. when someone's breaks my trust, then for me it is not something that is repairable.

Re: Trust
This is a very difficult subject to answer definitively.
Every case is as different as the personalities of the individuals involved.
Cultural taboos are influential, as are religious aspects.
More later...
Re: Trust
Sadya, you really are right there. Some individuals dont really have that wide acceptance levels. They hardly trust anyone and when that gets broken, their range narrows down further. Maybe how hard someone tries to rebuild, it just doesnt work. Right? Well said!!
Re: Trust
I love it when non-married folks give advice regarding issues they have never experienced...
Re: Trust
pcg, its not about dating though but a mutual trust between two individuals who just respect each other a lot. and when trust is damaged by say a misunderstanding, dont you think it can be pretty hard to take?
Muzna-- we shall wait 
Re: Trust
See thts the spirit. I believe time is a big healer and in the long run a person’s efforts to heal that trust damage could mean more than the damage caused? Persistence is the key here though.
Clutching to straws, am I? :-/
Re: Trust
no you are not...its not unheard of but you have to be a good boy from now on or it ends up being worse :p
