You never trust that someone’s not gonna betray u. u just trust that you’ll be able to handle it
if they do. U’ll be able to walk away. Stop worrying about whether u can trust someone else.
Maybe u can’t?? We dunno that, only time will tell. Trusting someone else is a pointless
waste of ur energy to worry about. Worry only about yourself. Trust u, don’t trust them. I can
walk away if I need to.
What happens when we don’t trust is that we suffocate people. We get overly jealous, we get
controlling, we started playing detective in their life in a way that invades their privacy, steps
over their boundaries. We start doing things that are unfair to the other person. And we start
damaging the relationship for a fear that hasn’t necessarily even come true yet. Now your
relationship is damaged not bc of what they’re doing but bc we are now violating the integrity
of the relationship.
So, you must have a standard, I’m gonna play my part in creating a beautiful and healthy
relationship. I’m gonna give this person space, enough to hang themselves, enough to betray
me. I have to, that’s what a great relationship is. I have to give u enough space where u can
betray me, where u can do something wrong. It can’t be that u only don’t betray me bc I’m
monitoring u the whole time, right? Idk what I have if the only conditions for u not betraying
me is that bc you’re under surveillance.
