How to Regain Trust in a Relationship

Often we tend to over look the obvious answers to the proper questions when it comes to relationships. If you are trying to regain trust in your relationship because of a wrong that you committed, be predictable. It seems obvious, now that you think about it,  it’s easy to be on time and be where you are supposed to be at any given time.

Don’t plan some surprise party or gift of some kind, not yet anyways (more on keeping the passion fires burning later). Planning surprises takes a bit of hiding things from your partner in order to pull them off, and your partner is on high alert for the signs your doing something wrong, so just be predictable.

Second, make sure your words always match your body language. What I mean by that is… If you say that you are happy and your body is creaming depression or tension then your partner is not going to believe what you say or at the very least wonder why there are mixed signals in the air. It is best that you stay open and honest in order to regain trust even if you are feeling something that you might think you have no right to feel; you should share this with your partner.

Third, don’t be afraid to let your partner know what your needs are. If you’re willing to be a little self-centered and express to your partner what you need and expect from them, then they should be able to do the same. This simple little secret on how to regain trust can open up a deep communication that will go a long way in building that trust back up.

Forth, learn how to say no. Although you may feel obligated to meet your partners every need, they can’t respect you if you never say no. And if you say yes to something you really have a problem with, it will only build tension and resentment. Refusing to react to your partner every whim can actually build trust so; learn to say no once in a while.

Fifth, be prepared to grow. Many times, before we can grow, we have to face the turmoil of the past to put it behind us. Yes, this can be painful to knock down the walls of the past to open up a great new future, but it is worth it to get to a whole new level of trust in a relationship.
