Trust (or lack thereof)

[orangeblossoms]

I agree with Tom completely, thats how I choose to live my life or better said how I just happen to live my life, bc I dont really know any other way, some people have told me that its not the most intelligent idea, b/c it makes me quite vulnerable, and I have been through some terrible experiences because I blindly trust. But I just cant help it, and although I do belive that trust has to be earned, with my owner, there wasnt so much earning, more that he exudes trustworthyness, and its really easy to just be able to completely trust his judgement. I know that what he says I should do is whats best for me and I do not question it. And I agree baggage or not, you have to be willing to have faith in the person, b/c otherwise you're dooming all your relationships to fail.

By you learning that he could be trusted I believe he earned your trust, wouldn't you say?

Definitely, but it was a lot easier, b/c I never had to even remotely think or question his motives behind certain things, and to this day, he's proved to be rock solid. I was in a relationship before my current one where every day there was something shady, and in that case, my trusting nature led to me stick around way too long and get really hurt in the end. But you learn...
