To Trust or Not To Trust

I think everyone want to trust the person they're with. You should be able to. If you're in a committed relationship, trust should not be an issue. It should just be there.

When you don't trust someone, even if it's just 1%, the issue is always there. Like a wound that leaves a scar, once your trust has been broken, you will never forget it. The pain may go away but the scar is still there. It reminds you of the pain.

I think every woman who sees their partner texting or emailing, wonders who's on the other end. He may say it's a friend or a family member, but you still wonder. There's always going to be that small part of you that wonders what's really going on.

The other part of the equation is that if he is cheating on you, you will get hurt and you will have to acknowledge it and deal with it. No one wants to hurt but you don't want to live a lie either. Decisions will have to be made and tears will flow. Do you trust him or do you even want to know.

Some men believe cheating is only physical. I do not. Don't get me wrong, physical cheating is a dealbreaker but emotional cheating hurts just as bad. Cheating is cheating. If it hurts your partner, it's cheating. If you have to lie and sneak around, it's cheating.

Trust is a double edge sword. You trust until it hurts and then you trust no more. The wound will heal and leave a scar. That scar will never let you forget that once you trusted another with all your heart, only to be betrayed. Once trust is gone, everything else will fall apart. So you better decide now, to trust or not to trust, that is the question.
