@GabrielsLamb Well, sometimes it’s difficult to build up to the level of trust that my hubby and I have for each other, especially when you’ve been emotionally burned. The man I dated right before I met my husband seemed honest, caring and kind when we met. After a month or so, that facade began to slip, and by the end of our relationship, when I ended it, I saw his true “face”, which was ugly, deceitful and just plain nasty.
When I met my husband two weeks later, I fell in love with him the same night (trust me, it sounds like bunk, but it’s true). Although I knew how I felt about him, I found it hard to trust him completely, so I was paranoid for a while. But he was just so good and so real that I began to trust him. It took a few months for me to totally trust him, and that trust has just gotten stronger through our marriage.
The point is- even when you’ve been burned, you can still learn to trust again. It just takes time, and the willingness to make yourself vulnerable again.
