    Time, if at all. Sometimes its best to move along, other times you feel you must work at it. It is not an easy road to travel. I have know many people to have done one or the other with mixed results. Strangely enough, one of the most important ingredients in a relationship is respect. If you have respect for each other, it can still work, assuming both parties want to make it work. Without respect, a relationship, even without losing trust, is usually doomed.

    When, or if, you figure it out, let me know. And I'll do the same for you.

    If the person who broke the trust is consistent and truly sorry and makes amends with actions, it builds back slowly.

    But it can if both people are willing to work at it, if the relation is worth something to them and of course if the offense is not something heartbreakingly unforgivable. It is not impossible otherwise most people would not get second chances.

    wow, what a struggle that can be. My wife left me last year for a while, for another guy. I welcomed her back with open arms when she decided it was a mistake. But months later (more now than then), I'm haunted at the most unexpected moments by anger, fear, or insecurity.

    Are you still going to be with her? What makes you insecure and angry? When you are angry, do you want to go out there and cheat her yourself, just to show her how much she hurt you?

    yes, were still (or again, I should say) together. The anger just comes, in waves, with no warning or pattern. Any difficulty at all between us makes me feel insecure. I have no desire to cheat on here, but sometimes I desperately want to communicate my hurt to her, and don't seem to be able to find a way to do it. WHen I try, the anger gets in the way and confuses the issue.

    The only possible way that I can think of is if the person who broke the trust turns completely around and truly does not ever do what he/or she did.Complete changes would have to take place.The person who was betrayed would have to be able to put the incident behind them and not bring it up again.Even with this,there would be a certain element of caution from the person who was betrayed.Caution as in fear that they would get hurt again.Some people can survive the situation,others can not.

    Both parties have to want to make it happen-sometimes trust is not worth rebuilding-cause neither party has much of anything positive to offer to the other's life

    by one and only one thing! You make a stance for it and take a responsible decision not to cheat again! Your significant other will automatically rebuild your image in their mind and forgive! If they didnt, then at least you won trusting yourself and taming your instincts by mind and ethical standards! For me, its better even than regetting any other person's trust!

    Find someone else to be with, but I guess that I will have to wait until my 9 year old is of age because that is what I promised myself when we first had children.
