How To Rebuilding Trust In Your Relationship

Confidence gives you confidence that your partner loves you no matter what. It is a guarantee that any argument can survive, any shortcomings can be accepted, and the feeling of emptiness can be alleviated by their presence.

When you bump into your partner on the road, trust is the medicine that heals the wounds. If you can forgive behavior that you disagree with, that trust is built. And as those battles heat up, it becomes less and less safe to give them time or space to do their own thing without you. Of course not. You have confidence on your side.

Trusting your partner shows that you are their priority. They have your best interests at heart. When differences and challenges arise, we know we can overcome them together. It also means it doesn't require justification. If you trust your partner implicitly, you don't have to explain or justify everything. Know that they use the same trust to understand that your intentions are pure.

After all, trust is the foundation of love. Connect what you want with what you have. You can whet your adrenaline (and turbulence) to chase your partner forever, or gain a level of confidence that ensures your partner is always there.

Are you having an open conversation?

But what does opening mean? Rather than being honest about the sub store we went to for lunch, it goes deeper. It is about letting your guard down and being willing to share what you hold sacred about yourself. Your fears, insecurities, and feelings of doubt — things that seem completely inappropriate unless you're talking to someone you implicitly trust. It's not a conversation we had when we were desperate not to say anything that wasted.

Is your partner your priority? and vice versa?

It's all too easy to claim or see yourself as a selfless person. Being a truly selfless person is a whole other story. So while putting your partner's needs ahead of your own is a prerequisite for trust, you can take some time to recognize how much effort it takes. It's the price of! When your partner drives you to the store after hours, it seems like a small (but important) paved road to building trust. They didn't just talk, they blocked out hours of the day, re-prioritized, and took walks.

Are you both comfortable with admitting your mistakes?

It revolves around discussions and the direction you and your partner are instinctively leading the conversation. Or are you throwing back criticism to distract yourself? To effectively solve relationship problems, you need to make sure your partner's feedback is valid. Even if it feels painful and embarrassing, I'd rather take it seriously now than continue to cause problems in the future.

How is your physical intimacy?

Oh, did you know we'd mention sex there? not so soon Physical intimacy doesn't always mean between the sheets. Show the depth of your bond with little things like a surprise kiss, hand-to-hand, or hand on hip. Sex often ends with a sense of accomplishment because it turns into a planned deal for partners who have fallen on the same page, feeling they have "done their duty." But these little moments cannot be faked. It's the details that take your confidence to the next level.

Don't expect the worst all the time.

Talk about the benefits of doubt and how you should give it to your partner. A concerted effort to believe your partner, even when trust is shattered, is the healthiest place to start. Starting out with suspicion adds a toxic layer to your communication and distracts from its essence. It's not easy at first, especially if you have a partner who is returning from a drug addiction or an affair.

Jump together.

It can be anything. Adventurous backpacking trips to hostels in Europe, ambitious yet rewarding diet commitments, watching movies that are usually overlooked - either way, you're doing it together. Sharing experiences is the most natural way to build trust with your partner. Nothing to say or think. It's about stepping out of your comfort zone with someone else.When you've had enough of these experiences, you'll be amazed at the confidence that comes with it.

Remember, it's a two-way street.

You may feel the need to sit back and wait for your partner to show you how they've changed. This does not mean waiting for an act of service and then immediately returning that act of service, as if in a binding trust agreement. The balance is always shifting because it's impossible to predict when your partner will need to rely on you.
