Trust in a Relationship....

[one...two...tree 2,762]

Well, since 100 people are probably going to have 100 different definitions of 'trust', I think it'd be wiser to stick with your own beliefs about trust and just rely on that.

It's one of those 'different strokes' issues, IMO.

Since when does starting a thread for the sake of discussion mean that the OP is trying to redefine his/her own opinion?

Don't read too much into it, Becca...seriously...cos you're lookin for summat that simply isn't there.

100 different definitions of 'trust' makes for a nice conversation.

Lisa, I'm just saying...take it for what you will, but I'd be nice to hear it from your own experience rather than just your belief. (waits for words to be Lisafied)

Trust is knowing your blow will still be there when you run to the store to get smokes.

I'm not stirring a thing. You want to have a conversation about trust in relationships. Per your original post because of some things you've read on VJ - paraphrasing.

What the heck does what we think about trust have to do with other peoples issues?

Then ask that! Sheesh...

My experiences? David doesn't BS me. For instance if I were to wear something unflattering, he'd answer 'that's not really flattering' if I asked him how I looked.

As I've already said, I prefer that 1000% over 'oh you look great' <--if that's not true.

As far as the whole trust issue...I trust him implicitly. I don't think that's naive or childish. I didn't meet him and hand him my trust automatically, but over 7+ years together, we've built something that I would stake my life on. We know each other like the back of our hands. And I couldn't ever be engaged whilst in an LDR if I didn't feel that way.

And I gotta say, I'm REALLY EXCITED to get married to him. I was way too young the first time I married, I never really felt that married bond feel....this time? omG I am chomping at the bit to be his Mrs. And that's all made possible because I trust him.

I don't like people telling me what I want to hear. Trust is a big thing to me. All a person has in this life is their honor...their word. And if you sully it by lying, well I think that's complete sh!t.

Funnily enough, I'm having an issue with a colleage right now. She went to the boss to complain about an issue that involved me...although it was not even my fault. My broker announced a general 'oh btw...' at the weekly meeting, so I went to this woman and said 'Did you have an issue with me that you raised to so and so? Did I offend you somehow? She looked me dead in the eye and lied. 'No no no, that wasn't me...' and then later that day, we're havin a few drinks at happy hour and she's a little sauced and fesses up.

Needless to say, I have a hard time trusting her now because I don't respect her anymore.

It made me curious where everyone else places trust on the scale...cos I couldn't imagine it not being first with most of us. So I asked.

Eh. Personally, I'm into my relationship for the money.

You know. All that dough he threw at me to get him a greencard.
