How To Rebuild Trust's Shattered Foundation

By T Dub Jackson

Trust -- it takes a lifetime to earn and only a second to destroy. All your life you've worked so hard to earn that level of trust from your partner but it only takes an inch of infidelity to let that hard-earned level of trust vanish into thin air. The question now, what can you do to be able to reinstate that vanished trust in your relationship after your infidelity?

You really wanna know what?

Work for it and be worthy!

I know, I know! It took you a lifetime to earn it before so it wouldn't be of any difference now, especially since it's due to cheating. Patience is a virtue you must pay attention to.

But...

There's always a positive phase behind this bad news. You can achieve it while making the efforts worthwhile and pleasurable if you set your mind to it.

Look for a bright side

This isn't about fun and games like treasure hunting on birthday parties so when I say making it pleasurable it's by making it enjoyable for you while taking this seriously. It's like you're a soldier of love and your battle-plan is to win the trust and love of your partner -- back.

By making it a mission, I mean to plan this as if it was an all out offensive on the battlefield of your lover's heart. Set your sights firmly on the goal and craft a careful plan for success. Carry out each step that is designed not only to earn the trust you've lost but also to make your lover fall a little more in love with you each and every day.

The profound essence of this arrangement is if in case you've reached "mission accomplished", you don't have to abort your mission but to keep it going and let your love be sweeter the second time around.

It's All in the Thinking

The most important thing though is how you view the time you spend earning that trust all over again. Some people view it as a sacrifice or burden. And guess what happens? It feels like a burden or a sacrifice the entire time. And then, they fight the effort every step of the way - until they give up completely.

Like aforementioned, you should enjoy it as not to feel like you're being punished for more than what you did. Those who see it on the brighter side of things are the ones who savor their accomplishment and would have a different but more positive view of their partners in the long run.
