ch.6 #1

I have personally lost trust in someone, it was a girlfriend back in high school. Just as in any instance for losing trust, she cheated on me, not once, but twice. And for that I was scarred, and it affected me long term. My reaction to it at first was not to believe and give her the benefit of the doubt, but as things started to surface, that disbelief became anger. I was almost in a state of depression because I felt not only did a girlfriend cheat on me, but she was also my bestfriend. So it almost felt as if I was losing two people at once. I think that it allowed for me to take the term trust into consideration and really value it, and to whom I give it out to. It allowed me to re evauluate people in my life and find out whether they were another person or not. As far as the trust being restored, I dont think it ever was. We did meet up later down the line and tried to hangout and be friends but that wall stood in between us and there was no way it was going to come down.

  1. I think that losing trust in someone that you have allowed into your heart is one of the hardest things to deal with. No one can explain the anguish and devastation felt when a mate cheats. I wish that people would think before they acted because it can have negative effects on the other person for the rest of their lives. Trust is one of the most important elements in any type of relationship and when people are scarred by others actions makes it difficult to trust others for fear of getting burned again. Unfortunately you know this too well since your ex-girlfriend cheated more than once. I hope that you are able to work through this for future relationships.
