Love You, Don't Trust You

“I love you, I just don't trust you.” It's not a statement anyone really wants to hear. Just the same I've heard this over and over and counseling sessions with couples. The person on the receiving end of this message rarely has a easy time grasping or accepting the statement. There's always a question of, “How can you love me and not trust me?”

Well, it pretty much always comes down to the lack of positive predictability. One person doesn't know what to expect from the other from day-to-day but it's generally not anticipated to be positive. Too many failures, too many disappointments, too many surprises. It takes a toll on a relationship.

In this episode, we're taking a brief look at what it takes for one to be seen as trustworthy and what often prevents it.
