The value of trust and honesty

I wanted to know how do u all react when a spouse or significant other is dishonest, inconsiderate or having an affair. I wondered if it is possible to rebuild trust in someone who disappoints us greatly.

I know people are human, frail, and sinful. Therefore, we need a realistic type of trust when we choose to trust someone. We can have a limited trust in people as we grow to know them and they see we really care about them but the fact is that people will let us down. That is reality. Obviously, when someone has broken their vows and been unfaithful, has lied or been dishonest in the relationship, they need to change.

I know we will never be perfect and therefore, will probably disappoint our loved ones as well. We can promise to never say something hurtful or never tell a lie or never exaggerate or always keep our promises or whatever but since we are human, we will also make mistakes and disappoint that person.

IMO, the components of love, forgiveness and commitment are as necessary to trust in a relationship as is honesty. Forgiveness gives you the chance to start over and trust another fallible human being again. Love helps to nourish trust. Commitment and honesty provide accountability to one another.

So, do u think it is possible to rebuild trust in someone who disappoints us greatly???
