After getting hurt or being the victim in a relationship that turned sour, its only natural to fear
trusting again. Even I would not be ready to take the plunge again and indulge even in a short relationship of some kind. We are mere humans and we also need some time alone to lick our wounds and let it heal. to some ti may take even years before they actually feel ready to take the stake and consider dating. It took me 2 years and some mo. before I got the courage and strength to trust again,but as it goes "Once bitten, twice shy", I have had a taste of those sour grapes, so I would be foolish to trust totally again!
I keep a ratio- its 70% of not trusting and 30%-trust ( but then I let him believe the its a total 100% trust that he's got!!!) I find this much better!
