TRUST…

When you fully trust someone without any doubt, you finally get one of two results:

A person for life or

A lesson for life.

Unknown

I learned this lesson the hard way.  My relationship with my ex started out as all love stories do, one of trusting each other and wanting the best for each other as well.  However, circumstances change and the once trustworthy and nice guy changed into someone I didn’t recognize.  He looked the same but the “inside” had changed.  Throwing trust out the window, he went on his merry way.

“SORRY” works when a mistake is made, but not when trust is broken, so in life, make mistakes but never break trust, because forgiving is easy, but forgetting and trusting again is sometimes impossible.”  Unknown

It is exactly what happened when I went from the, “love of his life” to nothing because someone else walked in and he was ready to take off for greener pastures.  It wasn’t that he was in love with her or even cared about her, he wanted that adrenaline rush that cheating brings.  The relationship if you can call it that lasted for a few months and it was over and so was the marriage and the “TRUST” I had placed in him.  

I learned that trust is not what it seems.  Once I thought that believing in someone meant trusting the person wholeheartedly, now I know better.  Love all you want but NOT with blinders on.  Pay attention and observe what is going on.  If it looks like a duck, and swims like a duck, than it is a DUCK or a cheater at play! 

Which relationship has taught you the most about yourself?
