Trust is the cornerstone of any relationship and without it a relationship has no foundation. A breakdown of trust can be the result of many different situations such as infidelity, addiction, or just outright lying.
Rebuilding trust in a relationship means that changes must be made. Make sure that you and your partner are both clear on the changes that are needed and expected. Set goals that are attainable. Talk about the progress that you are making and check in with your loved one to see how they are feeling about the progress.
Once you have decided to forgive your partner you have to do your part in rebuilding the trust. Do not throw past transgressions in the face of your partner every chance you get. That is not fair to you or your loved one. If you are constantly reminding him or her of what they did wrong and accuse them of doing it again, you are also preventing the restoration of you relationship.
