>>21266112When it comes to trust I don't just mean "can I trust this person not to cheat on me" which is very important, but it's just one of the branches of the word, there's others which I'll start with communication. Trust within communication plays a big role. Being able to talk to your significant other without the fear of judgement, misunderstanding or worse humiliation can help bring the two together. Knowing that you have a person who genuinely wants to hear your words and worries not only improve the relationship, but also your mental state obviously enough. I'll throw my friend under bus here for an example. when I was hanging out with him and his ex gf he began telling me about something and I noticed immediately that she was uncomfortable just by her facial expressions and movements. The fact that he didn't notice it tells me that he didnt notice or that he did and didn't care. It made me uncomfortable so I told them I gotta take a piss just to save her from whatever embarrassment that was about to be told. What that tells me is that they lack communication. They don't know each others, they don't know what makes them embarrassed, angry, sad, happy etc. These are important feelings and throughout the time in a relationship both parties should be keeping notes of these things. People love to talk about themselves without that care of listening to others which just doesn't work which leads to support. The trust that they'll be there when the times are tough. Our lives aren't perfect, but feeling safe by knowing that your significant other will be there through the thick of it and to be that support that uplifts you from your burden, it's something that never happens. Trust is to the most important pillar in a relationship, without it the whole thing just falls apart. There's so much I had to slim down which makes this post come off as idealistic. Trust me, I'm very pragmatic, it's just this post is getting too long.
