| | | Once it's gone, it's gone. No way to fix that, as far as I am concerned. Sam and I have this discussion from time to time. Usually it's the "If you ever cheated on me, I would..." thing. We've both come to the agreement that if either of us did that, it'd be over, end of story. Even trying to cheat comes into it. The thing is, I couldn't bring myself to trust anyone that cheated on me anyway. I wouldn't trust anyone that did anything even close to cheating on me. There's no way in hell I would or could. The attempt to cheat would bother me, it would be the one thing in the back of my mind that would drive me batshit crazy. Even if I were still with him, there's no way I could even come close to trusting him. I'd just give up, tell him to hit the road and start over. Shael

| | | LOL Hypothetical question is not Hypothetical. To be honest, Shael has it ass backwards. To answer the question, I have to ask a question. How invested in this relationship are you? Are you willing to see the worst of this person? To see what makes him tick, what are the motivations, hurts, preferences etc. If you are, be prepared for a long talk, weeks maybe. Maybe even months. Work on non violent communication. Like instead of faulting him for what he does that hurts you. Take responsibility for your own feelings, and tell him about them. The point about re-trusting someone, is that it's not about them at all. You make the choice to trust him or not. That simple. If he can't communicate openly and honestly, then you two WILL fail. There is no way around that. The best way to get him to do this is give him emotional space to do so. That means holding back feelings of pain, of wrath, jealousy etc. That way you can start on a new foundation with all things known. If you can't do this you two WILL fail. It may be that mid way through all these talks you find that he is not who you think he is. You might not even like who he really is. If this is the case, and you two split up, at least you dodged a bullet. Or you might find that his secret parts meshes with your secret parts. But to say that once trust is gone, it's gone, is backwards jealous talk. Un-evolved possessive gibberish.

| | | Posted by Emma Peel However, he still manages to say some really awful things.
| That one right there might even be the bigger issue for you. It is unlikely to change. Even if you get across the message that those things make you uncomfortable and you don't want to hear them, that's not going to change the fact that his mind works that way. Best case scenario is that he takes your feelings to heart and respects you enough to make a conscious effort to avoid saying such things. But that doesn't change who he is, and how his mind works. What I'm saying is, like most things to make a relationship work, you'll do better to find a way to learn to accept something yourself then to try to make someone else change. When things work really well, both people will be making changes to themselves to be better, but you can't ever count on them to make the changes you want EDIT: I forgot to add the very important corollary... that if you are not able to accept things that you need to accept to be happy, then that shit ain't gonna work. No matter how much love there is, making yourself miserable is a stupid thing to do.
