-I almost want to say that trust is like a life-line in a relationship. Do you think that the more trust you have the healthier the relationship will be?
* Yes. No trust = No relantionship.
-You have to show that you trust your partner. Is it ever good to fake trust?
* Never, ever good to fake trust. Faking trust is the same as lying. My opinion is that honesty is the basis of the relantionship. Without honesty, there`s nothing.
-What does showing that you trust your partner entail?
* It show`s that you care enough to let them do what they want to do. It comforts that person to know that their partner trusts them.
-What are things that you can do to show you trust your partner?
* To let them be on their own once and a while.
-What are signs that you don’t trust your partner?
* When you start to accuse and assume that they're doing something wrong.
-What are things that can cause distrust?
* Cheating, lying, and certain actions.
-What does trust do?
* Trust proves that you care. Proves that you believe in them. Let`s them know that you don`t have to worry about that person.
-How does trust effect a relationship?
* Without trust, how can you rely on each other? Without trust how can you have faith in each other or believe in each other? With trust -- the relantionship would be healthier, longer and more commited.

[Serendipity]

>I almost want to say that trust is like a life-line in a relationship. Do you think that the more trust you have the healthier the relationship will be?
Yes, I think so. If there's no trust, you might as well forget about being in a relationship.

>You have to show that you trust your partner. Is it ever good to fake trust?
I don't think so. It'd feel weird, like you're pretending.

[OhMyAnniee]

>I almost want to say that trust is like a life-line in a relationship. Do you think that the more trust you have the healthier the relationship will be?

Yes, but you could also over trust. And then the worrying and doubts come back.

>You have to show that you trust your partner. Is it ever good to fake trust?

Nope. I think it typically happens in girls, because they're so used to faking it to other girls. Whoever is faking it would feel too guilty and it would lead to the breakup.

>What does showing that you trust your partner entail?

There's a big difference between loving and obsessing.
I think that makes sense?

>What are things that you can do to show you trust your partner?

Share the most random and stupidest things with them about your day or life. Oh yes, you have to let them in. Or else it seems like your building this gigantic wall against them.

>What are signs that you don’t trust your partner?

For me, I absolutely HATE it when guys say 'Oh.' And I hate it when guys think they are the only guy in the world. It's like, I have guy friends too you know! Girls do that too to guys but I always got the feeling that girls trusted guys more.. I don't know.

>What are things that can cause distrust?

If you take pictures with a girl/guy that isn't in your family. And if the picture is JUST you two and it's not her/his birthday. That's just weird.

>What does trust do?

There's no pressure.

:How does trust effect a relationship?

It shows that your partner is more than just your partner.
Their your best friend.

[SimplicityGirl]

>I almost want to say that trust is like a life-line in a relationship. Do you think that the more trust you have the healthier the relationship will be?

While I don't think relationship=trust, it is true that trust plays a vital role in any relationship, and not just the boyfriend/girlfriend type. If you don't trust the other person in the relationship, you're always going to have doubts in your head about what he/she is up to, and if what they told you is, in fact true. You will start to doubt the relationship...and it will lead to diagreement, and the eventual fall out of the relationship. More trust doesn't necessarily means the "healthier" the relationship will be. How healthy a relationship is also depends on other factors...like communication, and the compatibility of the two people involve, but yes, having a lot of trust in the relationship will definitely give the health status of the relationship a big boost.

>You have to show that you trust your partner. Is it ever good to fake trust?
Nope. What's the point? Once your partner finds out at a later point in time, it won't be pretty. It'd be almost like being a fake you to be involve with them...and in a way, it's like breaking a lot of promises. Because trust takes time to develop...and once the person finds out that the foundation was built on something fake...that hurts.

>What does showing that you trust your partner entail?
Lot's of things. One of the top things would be not be possessive and controlling. Let your partner be his/her own person. Let them do their own thing without you. Trust that they won't be unfaithful to you.

>What are things that you can do to show you trust your partner?
That's a hard one. I show my bf that I trust him by letting him have his own space...and by telling him private things that I wouldn't tell anyone else.

>What are signs that you don’t trust your partner?
Interrogation. Being possessive. Feeling insecure when they're on within your sight.

>What are things that can cause distrust?
A lack of communication.

>What does trust do?
It makes the relationship have substance...as opposed to just the physical kind.

:How does trust effect a relationship?
In the positive way of course =] With trust, your relationship will last...without trust...it won't.

[layli]

>I almost want to say that trust is like a life-line in a relationship. Do you think that the more trust you have the healthier the relationship will be?

Not necessarily. I do understand that trust is the most important factor of keeping a relationship in tact, but there is a limit to how honest a person is. I mean, we all have secrets that no one knows. Its almost healthy to keep some things to ourselves, but at the same time, there are some things that we need to be open about in order to keep the trust alive.

>You have to show that you trust your partner. Is it ever good to fake trust?

There's no point in faking something so vital. It's like breathing. You can pretend to breath but not, yet it would be pointless because in the end you'd be the one affected by it and not the ones who you fooled.

>What does showing that you trust your partner entail?

Having trust in a relationship just makes it more comfortable. It's just a more relaxing environment to be in and you'll just be happier.

>What are things that you can do to show you trust your partner?

Trust is something that is shown subconsciously. It gets proven over time and not necessarily by one specific action. If you both trust eachother, then you'll know it. There's nothing you should have to do to prove that.

>What are signs that you don’t trust your partner?

I guess if you're always suspicious about what they say and have a feeling that there is something strange about what they're telling you.

>What are things that can cause distrust?

lying, cheating, etc.

>What does trust do?

trust is the glue that keeps people together.

:How does trust effect a relationship?

its kind of unexplainable. trust just adds a certain feeling to the relationship. It just makes everything seem more perfect I guess.

[alysaphobia]

nice topic. :)


I almost want to say that trust is like a life-line in a relationship. Do you think that the more trust you have the healthier the relationship will be?
Not always. I don't think that how well a relationship goes depends directly on the trust between the two people in it. While I do believe that without trust, a relationship is doomed, trusting too much too soon can leave you open to being taken advantage of and hurt. Also, I don't think you should trust your partner to always being perfect or expect too much from them... but overall, you should have a healthy amount of trust in the relationship.

You have to show that you trust your partner. Is it ever good to fake trust?
No, it's not good to fake trust because if you truly trusted your partner, you wouldn't need to fake it. And if you partner found out you faked it, it gives them more reason not to trust you.

What does showing that you trust your partner entail?
It means you don't call obsessively to check up on where they are, you don't assume they're being unfaithful everytime they're late, you don't doubt their word and you can trust them to do good for you.

What are things that you can do to show you trust your partner?
You can tell them straight out, or tell them your secrets. You can stop calling them/texting them with "WHERE ARE YOU!? WHO ARE YOU WITH?!" messages. You can give them space to have their own lives including times when they are with members of the opposite sex, without assuming they're up to no good. You can act completely like yourself around them without being afraid.

What are signs that you don’t trust your partner?
You think they lie to you, you dislike it when they hang with the opposite sex (particularily if they're attractive!), you don't like to tell them private things.

What are things that can cause distrust?
Infidelty. Lies. Broken promises.

What does trust do?
It gives you something to rely on and basically is the rock you can hang onto when relationships take a dive. It gives you a sense of security.

How does trust effect a relationship?
^Basically everything stated above. :)

[*Uronacid*]

I'm still trying to understand the variables associated with trust... please... I need more answers.

[krnxswat]

These questions are a little too obvious for me so no point in answering. Sorry bro.

[multifaceted]

I can't define trust but I can tell you that trust can be a good thing and a bad thing.

Having too much trust in someone makes you suffer more in the end sometimes.

Having too little trust makes you cold.

[shortcake]

>I almost want to say that trust is like a life-line in a relationship. Do you think that the more trust you have the healthier the relationship will be?
Most definitely. If there isn't any trust then there is going to be hella drama. Trust me i know, my friend complains everyday because her & her bf dont trust eachother

>You have to show that you trust your partner. Is it ever good to fake trust?
maybe at first, but not all the time
>What does showing that you trust your partner entail?
not hella tripping when he talks to someone of the opposite gender, and telling him important things
>What are things that you can do to show you trust your partner?
talk to them about the important issues that you might not tell your friends...
>What are signs that you don’t trust your partner?
hella tripping about them talking to an opposite gender, telling them things
>What are things that can cause distrust?
cheating. lies.
>What does trust do?
makes you happier, less worrying, i think
>How does trust effect a relationship?
It makes you stronger, your relationship stronger

[xlitoxb]

>I almost want to say that trust is like a life-line in a relationship. Do you think that the more trust you have the healthier the relationship will be?
Yes, I do think that the more trust you have, the easier it will make the relationship. There won't be so many fights because you don't trust your significant other.

>You have to show that you trust your partner. Is it ever good to fake trust?
I don't think it's good to fake trust, but sometime giving the benefit of the doubt to your gf/bf is okay.

>What does showing that you trust your partner entail?
This is a hard one. I know it's really cliche and everyone's probably heard this before, but it's probably being able to let him do whatever he wants and knowing that you won't hurt you.

>What are things that you can do to show you trust your partner?
- Let him hang out with his friends even if girls are involved.
- Believing in him even if the story seems really off.

>What are signs that you don’t trust your partner?
- Always thinking the worst of him and thinking that he's lying
- Never believing anything he says because you already assumed something else
- Not giving him the benefit of the doubt

>What are things that can cause distrust?
- Past experiences
- Not being showed trust from close friends/family

>What does trust do?
Trust can either make or break a relationship if taken to the extreme.

WOW that was really hard to answer.

[pinay_cherry]

>I almost want to say that trust is like a life-line in a relationship. Do you think that the more trust you have the healthier the relationship will be?
It can make a relationship deeper & it is a good thing to have plenty of it.
>You have to show that you trust your partner. Is it ever good to fake trust?
The truth is always important too. A fake trust isn't that great. It's alright to have insecurities, but you have to tel your signifigant other about those feelings of insecurty and what not. Tell them & that will let them know you trust them with being honest too.
>What does showing that you trust your partner entail?
Hard to say. Not sure what you mean exactly, but I guess it's like. You tell them things, let them know I guess. I can't really answer this. Bad vocabulary in me xP
>What are things that you can do to show you trust your partner?
Space is sometimes good, but don't give too much. Question their actions only a few times. Tell them you trust them. [Personally, Nosiness isn't too bad. We all do it. Just don't do it alot] etc.
>What are signs that you don’t trust your partner?
Way to much questioning. Being at your back every few seconds. Questioning all your friends about what you've been doing. Etc.
>What are things that can cause distrust?
Cheating, flirting, things of the past, issues/problem in the relationship, etc, etc, etc.
>What does trust do?
It can help break & build the relationship. Too much trust could be like..Just giving them too much space. Pushing and just letting them do whatever. Sure that's great, but some people do like to be questioned, or would like their partner to ask to come along.
Trust can keep people's love strong. To prevent cheating or flirting. A strong bond is a god one.
:How does trust effect a relationship?
Like I said above. But it's a powerful weapon. Both used for good & bad.

Personally. I think trust is important, but there are other things that come before it. I do browse around, maybe alot, maybe a little. But I do it occassionally to find out how things are going.[I'm in a long distance, not very much to know] But of course I trust my 'partner' I trust him as much as he should trust me. If kind words can be said & meant from far away, then I can say them & mean them too. Trust in a long-distance relationship is important, but love is the most. :] Plenty of love brings trust to an atomatic thing. It'll just be there if love is present to a very big extent. :]
Hope this helps.
