Trust Takes Years To Build, Seconds To Break And Forever To Repair - Dhar Mann

Breaking someone's trust in a relationship is like crumpling up a perfect piece of paper. You can smooth it over, but it's never going to be the same again. Once you’ve really hurt someone in a relationship, it will always be in the back of their mind, even if they have a smile on their face. In relationships we can be quick to get upset when we feel someone’s questioning us, but slow to realize we may have done something that’s causing the questioning in the first place. We want to be worthy of their trust even when we haven’t been so trustworthy. What’s important to remember is trust isn’t given, it’s earned. It’s not earned through words; it’s earned through actions. It takes years to build up trust in any relationship and only seconds to destroy it, but forever to repair it. And the reality is, it may never be the same again. So remember, we can’t always demand trust, when we haven’t always offered the truth.
