Overcome Lack of Trust And Save Your Relationship

Relationships commonly end because of a lack of trust. The accumulation of lies throughout a relationship compounds the problems of trust. Imagined scenarios and jumping to conclusions create a breeding ground for conflict as a result of each new lie. Everyone makes mistakes which can be difficult to resolve in a relationship. However, a lack of trust can insult your partner causing them to want to end the relationship.

Putting an end to trust issues is not always easy and takes time. Personal insecurities make up a large portion of the lack of trust. Focusing your attention upon fears begins to create the reality of your life. The images you hold in the imagination can be very real and vivid. Consider other alternatives related to your thoughts to hinder personal insecurities causing contention within the relationship. Dealing with lack of trust when it has been violated in the past can be a challenge to overcome.

Your partner may have lied to you in the past only so be careful of falsely accusing them exclusively on that point alone. Sincerely evaluate the situation by weighing out all the different possibilities. Accusing and always assuming the worst instead of giving the benefit of the doubt reinforces the negative behavior. Attempting to overcome the lack of trust requires that you begin stretching the comfort zone of trust a little at a time.

Although, if you created the distrust in the relationship it is critical that 100% honesty is practiced which starts with yourself. If you are given the opportunity to rebuild trust realize that it is a probationary period so you must make every attempt to provide answers to questions in addition to openly supplying information. The reasons for lying are varied with each situation being different, so gauge the lack of trust that has been created. Understanding the amount of trust remaining in the relationship sheds light upon the effort necessary to regain trust.

A good sincere apology works in your favor for creating miracles with whatever mistake you have made. Wiping the slate clean or clearing away years of damage begins with an apology delivered correctly. Plan the apology by focusing on feelings instead of blame or excuses. Be sincere from a place of honesty and love, knowing why you are apologizing. Apologies can be applied to everyday relationships as well with the knowledge to overcome the lack of trust. 

All the best,
