How to regain trust?
Hi everyone,
I just went through a very painful breakup which ended with me realizing my partner was incapable of being honest with himself and with others. I still don't know how to process that, he still seems so honest to me, and that scares me. How am I supposed to ever build trust with anyone else now that I know even the people who seem the most honest are capable of lying and cheating? How have other people been able to become trusting again after having your complete trust in someone shattered?

Hey!
I'm sorry to hear about your break-up, they're rarely easy. Regaining trust is a case of time and surrounding yourself with positive people. It will take some time for you to heal and then start trusting the right people. You may be sceptical of some people but it's a natural defense to avoid being hurt again. You will be able trust in the future, but think more about moving on from this bad time before worrying about trusting again.
Good luck!
After not dating at all for 3 years, i fell for a Catfish.He insisted I posted on Facebook that we were dating.
Long story short, I only met him ONCE. He always has an excuse not to see me or even call. We don't even text cuz he doesn't have any minutes supposedly. Yeah, a workaholic that can't buy minutes in at least 3 months.
I'm ready to give up on him.
But I'm feeling worthless, wondering what I did wrong.
@Graci You didn't do anything wrong. The problem lies with the Catfish. I would delete his info and move on. You deserve better.
