Trust is letting our guards down and knowing we will be there to protect each other. It's knowing we can love each other so deeply and not be hurt so badly by the other. It's knowing that when we tell each other something, we can believe in each other, whole heartedly, that it's the truth and we know that what we say and show each other coincides with the words and actions to make them one.
My marriage is lacking trust and that hurts me deeply. I did trust him until everything that came out of his mouth was a damn lie and our life became a SHAM drenched in alcohol! I can't and won't believe anything he says to me until he can back it up with his actions.
Trust. There is no *us* in trust between us because it doesn't exist right now. It hurts me to tell him that I don't trust him.
