How To Trust Again
In this article, we will explore practical steps you can take to rebuild trust and create healthy relationships moving forward. When my marriage ended, I went through a period of self-reflection and found myself ruminating over what went wrong. It took me awhile to realize that this is a normal part of grieving and moving on after a relationship dissolves. The reality is that breakups are hard. We have all faced them and been challenged by letting go of the why and how things could have gone differently. Goodbyes are never easy regardless of who initiates the breakup. However, I discovered that it is better to let someone go than staying with a partner out of insecurity, guilt, or fear of being alone. However, it is crucial that you keep things in perspective. Commitment Issues After Divorce
A reader asks, When trust is broken in a relationship, can you ever trust again? My advice, along with why the answer is a firm yes!. And it bothers me when someone blames a person for not just blindly trusting, but instead, using discernment. Not just blindly believing someone without knowledge of their trustworthiness is not having trust issues but having life experience that teaches that people can and will be deceitful. This is true at the beginning of a relationship and decades in. But I have learned that someone with true integrity, authenticity, and a moral compass to speak the truth at all times, especially when they are doing something wrong, is someone who has proven their trust. When you first meet someone and they lie about where they live, whom they live with, or anything else about themselves they were too embarrassed to share openly, this should not be brushed under the rug as new relationship little lies. They were trying to impress while hiding the truth about themselves. How to Trust Again
It can push away those with whom you could have a meaningful, long-term, healthy relationship. Divorce can shake the very foundation of your life, especially after decades of marriage.

How do you move forward when trust feels like a risk too great to take? God, in His faithfulness, shows us how to rebuild, heal, and trust—not just in people, but in Him. Moving On After Divorce
I mean, after you've been betrayed in one way or another, it's normal to become afraid to take chances with your heart. Trusting someone again in a romantic relationship seems almost unfathomable. Your vulnerability was stomped on so hard, it feels crushed. A Divorced Girl Smiling Facebook group member recently posted this question, which brought this issue back for me:. My initial reaction was to tell this woman what my therapist told me all those years ago. The reason you will be able to trust again is because you come from a very close, very strong family that you have loved and trusted your entire life. It is your family who built the foundation for your ability to trust and that can never be stolen from you, no matter how hurt you are by a spouse. I love this response so much!
