Hi @gimh ,
You may know that it is not easy, it was hard for me to find someone who finally won my trust completely.
My heart was destroyed so many times, I remember me saying to myself that I will never love again.
I didn’t hate men, but my soul was so tired to try.
I found someone who I will never change, even in his worse, he makes me love him again.
So my advice: always be honest and try to get honesty back.
Be transparent.
There’s not a better relationship than one who cares about honesty, even if it means to hurt.
Someone who really loves you, even if this person is hurt, she/he will forgive you not only because she/he sees you are worth it, also because you have made this person realize their own value.
In our society that is full of dreams and artificial/superficial people, we must never forget what is real.
I hope this will help you
:)
