How long did it take and how did you know that you could
Trust them( as much as one can trust another) ?
Backstory is that I'm in a relationship of nearly a year and it's only recently that Infeel secure in the knowledge that he is committed and that I can trust him
Although , I'll never trust a man 100% ever again after being betrayed and humiliated by my husband of many years .
I never expected the relationship to develop as it did.
I met my now boyfriend on line . He was my first and only date and we just clicked. A year on and I finally believe that I can trust him but still feel nervous at times in
Case I get fucked over again. . I expect that this is common or am I being paranoid ?

No, I think this is common. It'll always be in the back of your mind "what if..". I think you just have to give him the benefit of the doubt and hope he doesn't fuck you over.

Thank you. It's definitely scary

Hard to say if you ever trust 100% again, but in a way, i dont think it scares me anymore either

My OH was my first ever OLD and we too just clicked. I messed around with non trust for about 3 years really but we've been together 8 years and have a 2 year old - would trust with him with my life.
If I had my time again, I'd have relaxed and enjoyed the relationship earlier rather than stressing about it and potentially ruining it - lucky for me he stuck with it. Good luck

I've never trusted anyone 100%. I don't think anyone can or should. It's quite a naive position.

But in terms of what you're asking, I always trust that someone has good intentions until they prove otherwise.

I don't worry about being cheated on because worrying about it won't stop it from happening. I just know what I'd do if I found out. If someone cheats on you, it says more about them than it does you. And I would never be torn between leaving or forgiving. I'd be gone.

I never trust promises of anything until it happens. Just enjoy the ride.

Having said that, I don't do relationships largely because I have found men to be untrustworthy in general ultimately 🤷🏻‍♀️
