Trust is the foundation of every relationship; it must be earned and it can be lost. Trust in a relationship can be easily shattered after one partner cheats or betrays the other partner, leading to their broken sense of safety and confidence. Or simply, when one cannot meet the expectations of the other, trust can also be affected. Gradually, without clear communications, dissatisfaction becomes distrust. Trust can be lost, but hope remains alive, as long as you two are willing to work on it.
