trust

Trust is paramount in any relationship, especially so in a love relationship.

When I was once young and reckless (ok, I am not so young anymore but maybe still reckless sometimes), I had put this paramount trust in jeopardy a few times, and I learned my lessons.

All it takes is a little misstep. No matter how small that misstep is, once the boundary is crossed, the trust between two individuals is breached.

Have a forgiving heart. Give the one next you a chance to make it right.

Hmm...I think it depends on what the "problem" was.

No simple answer here, my friend.

If it was a small problem or misunderstanding, yeah, we normally would forgive.

But if it involved something more serious such as having an affair with another person, or using "fake" love/friendship to cheat your money or other benefits, well, it would be very tough.

Forgiveness is the only way to move on.

a person can choose to forgive or to simply move on w/o the person who lied. tough issue and quite often convoluted. good luck.

I, for one, wondered if I had really forgiven the one who offended me, or I just chose to ignore it and moved on.

I might well just lied to myself and pretended that I had forgiven the person...

But honestly, the feeling was no longer the same.

May be 20 years later I may not have that feeling anymore...
