Frequently Asked Questions
What is trust in a relationship?
Trust is the confident belief that your partner will act with integrity, keep their commitments, and prioritize your well-being. It includes emotional safety (feeling secure to be vulnerable), reliability (following through), and loyalty (commitment to the relationship).
How long does it take to build trust?
Trust builds gradually through consistent actions over time. Small reliable behaviors (showing up, keeping promises, being honest) compound. While the foundation may take months, trust continues deepening over years. It's built in drops but lost in buckets.
Can broken trust be repaired?
Yes, but it requires genuine accountability, consistent changed behavior, patience, and mutual commitment. The hurt partner needs time and space to heal. The one who broke trust must demonstrate change through actions, not just words. Many couples emerge stronger.
What are signs of trust issues in a relationship?
Constant suspicion, checking your partner's phone, difficulty being vulnerable, assuming the worst, fear of abandonment, controlling behavior, or inability to forgive past mistakes. Some checking is normal early on; persistent patterns indicate deeper issues.
How do I trust again after being hurt?
Start with small steps and observe if your partner follows through. Focus on present behavior, not past fears. Communicate your needs clearly. Consider couples therapy. Trust isn't about forgetting — it's about choosing to be vulnerable again based on demonstrated reliability.
