How do you rebuild trust after infidelity or betrayal in a relationship?

Post: # 1108Post Choccodee39 »

I think rebuilding trust after infidelity or betrayal in a relationship takes being able to have true forgiveness. I think even counciling with a spiritual or professional relationship guidance counselor. It not something that will happen overnight or with I'm sorry I promise not to do it again. That trust has to be gained back. However it will take both willing to not give up on what that had and the struggles to get to what they've shared and built together.

To rebuild trust, we need transparency and accountability. The person betraying the trust must be willing to make amends and such person should also be able to prove their commitment to the relationship. Without that, it is never going to work.

I think if you choose to remain after the infidelity or betrayal, then there has to be true forgiveness. Yes it will take a little time to build the trust back. That means no throwing it up when angry. The guilty party must change and never break patterns to give reasons for not being able to trust them. Counseling will help with advice on how to build the trust to a safe and healthy state to move forward in the relationship.
