Would you trust them to keep all your secrets? would you trust them with your life? or do you trust your friends at all? I Don't trust anybody but my best friend who also happens to be my husband and I Would trust him with anything. We have been married going on almost 19 years and he's never given me a reason not to trust him.

I have been betrayed by friend before so I am careful now about what I tell anyone. I'm not a trusting person. Sometimes I will tell someone something though and wish immediately that I hadn't. I'm even careful about what I tell my husband. I know its terrible to be that mistrusting but trusting people in the past hasn't worked out well for me.

I love to trust all my friends, but time teachs me that it's quite unwise to trust anyone. A lot of times I had to repent for this. Now, I understand well whom to trust and whom not to. I don't trust any stranger or a new friend actually now. But obviously I don't have any intention to hurt them. I've learnt that it is safest to trust my parents. There are few friends I can rely, my girlfriend is one among them.

I trust one friend with my life, and I trust a couple of people with my secrets. It takes years to build that kind of trust with me, even though I'm apparently a very trusting person at first sight, according to some people I know.

Depends on what you mean by friends like for me I find it really hard trusting people.And if I consider someone as a best friend then I really trust him.In my opinion trust is really important in any kind of relationship and if I find it hard trusting someone then I really don't care about him.So if your asking if I trust my friends,the answer is no,not that much but I do trust my best friends!

I only have two true friends that I trust with my own life. This is because one is a great friend, and she does everything that a real friend is supposed to do. She cares for me, cheers me up when im upset or down, she even helps me make decisions in life. And I know that if my life was in her hands, she would make the best choices to suit me and my lifestyle, and she wouldnt make any choice for me that she wouldnt make for herself and for her own life. she always wants the best for me so I would consider her being my life planner! lol. And im with you on the husband thing, although Im not married yet and ive only been with my fiance for 7 years, I still feel that I trust him with everything. I trust him with my money, my life, my job and my two businesses. This is because he loves me, and I know that. Also, likewise, he knows that I love him too :) Im so glad youve been married for 19 years, I hope that my marriage will last 19 years and longer, when we eventually get married :)

I have never told everything to my friends. Even being a little girl when friendship seemed so ideal for me, i used to keep some secrets with me, being afraid that people won't understand me. From my own experience and people around me i see that even best friendship can be transformed later in something not so close. And very often people try to use "sacred" information in order to put a person down. I have lots of friends, and never actually had fights with them, but still i cannot go through the barrier of not telling everything. For now my only best friend is my boyfriend, and at this time i am opened with him much much more than with the rest of the people.
