AIBU to trust?

[Brandnewbrighttomorrow]

Seem to be in a disturbing stage where many friends marriages are in trouble/ splitting up, am i naive or does trust means nothing and people genuinely can't be trusted?

I'm sorry, I have absolutely no clue what you're talking about. Prehaps you could expand a lot little

I've been wondering the same op. Perhaps I'm at an age where, after all the weddings and babies, my peers are going through the 'splitting up phase'. Depressing. It's not even surprising in some cases.

Trying to draw a blanket rule about ALL people is usually not helpful.

And all unhappy couples are unique in their own way.

You may well be able to have and keep your own trusting situation, but this kind of thing does rock confidence if you let it. Focus on your own business. Good luck for your friends. X

sorry needed to vent last night, just gone through a few months where so many friends are going through break ups - most after 20+ years and it's scary, people I trusted and thought I knew are behaving in ways I can scarcely recognise them any more. Just undermining my trust in my own instincts and wondering who's next, hoping it's not me.

There was a recent (now deleted) thread entitled -
"People who are absolutely certain their OH's won't ever cheat are deluding themselves"

It attracted responses in general that implied you can't be immune but you can be prepared.

Hope this brings you at least some sunshine, OP.
