Patience and time, can be the biggest pains in the ass when you're dealing with trust issues! "Trust me." Is usually followed by an "I'm sorry." However, I'm a firm believer in the "Law of Positive and Negative Attraction." Although, I'm not quite sure if that is a real law. Anyways, the more positive/negative energy you put out there, is what you get. Positive energy=Positive Outcome Negative energy=Negative Outcome Yet when "Trust issues" are being dealt with, it's like everything that can go wrong, WILL go wrong. So, once again. Take a step back from bitterness. Away from the NEGATIVES. Stop over analyzing. Give a little slack to your "un-trustee." Take a little back if proven wrong. In a sense, you don't HAVE to trust them. But more than anything, relationship/friendship/family wise... We always give them (the un-trustee) the benefit of the doubt. If you were really fed up, you wouldn't need anyone to open up the door for you to walk out. Right? Maybe a dose- or two... maybe an infinite amount- of reality. Will do the trick. Analyze, but don't OVER ANALYZE with "could've, should've, would've" bullshit. If the apology was sincere, the same mistake wouldn't happen more than once... Realistically, twice. That's just my opinion.
