Trust... how does it fit in your life?

[angelic.zest]

Love, Consent, Lasting Relationships, Friendships... they all blossom from a foundation of Trust.

These are very important components of each relationship, no matter the type of relationship. Personally I am looking for a long lasting friendship first, then something more intimate can develop, if it happens then thats all well and good but it if stays with a friendship then thats great also. I think everyone who wants a relationship wants those things included, but its hard to find sometimes and when you are looking theres somehing that sometimes just doesnt seem right about the person but you ignore and continue until it doesnt work out.

Betray a friend's trust and you'll soon find yourself lacking the companionship of that friend, unless you're lucky to have one who's forgiving. Break it enough times, however, and they'll move on to greener pastures.

For those of you who would hold the collar and command the one who wears it... what does trust mean to you? Could you give your time to one not worthy of your trust? Or is it something so dear to you as well, that you would cast the one aside who wears your collar were they to betray that precious trust?

I dont hold a collar but that doesnt mean i cant answer the question because a lot of us who dont have a collar can answer and unless its a collar only wearing section, hehe...
but anyway....I have been my time to one who wasnt truely worthy of my trust, more so in vanilla relationships. Its very hard because we want something so badly that we are willing to over look certain traits, even bad traits.


In order my me to even think about being part of someones household i'll have to remember myself and my self worth so i would need to know what i am looking for in a mate. I also would need to knwo that i need to have someone that i can trust and who can trust me. I have issues with trust, LARGE issues with letting go and being the submissives that i know i can. Personally I am still fighting those and i am working on them and i will resovled them as time goes on but they will get better.
Now from a Tops perpective, if i couldnt trust the boy i was with then i couldnt be with him. If he wasnt able to try to be honest then we will have a problem because I do consider myself to be easy going, very reasonable at times. So if a boy couldnt handle that with the truth, and respect then its time to go!
