In everyone's life, a friend is always part of it. A friend of each other's existence. And when a person gets to have a friend that is more than like a sister or a brother, you call them your BESTFRIEND... right? A bestfriend is somebody who accompanies you thru thick and thin. She helps you thru with all the obstacles in your life. You share with her half of your sandwhich for snacks, a paper for an exam, your extra pen for note-taking, your tears of joy and sadness.... and most especially your secrets in life. She does the same to you right? Definitely she will. In short, TRUST is fabricated in your lives: you cry, she cries with you; you laugh, she laughs with you; you scream, she freaks out with you; you get sad, she gets more sad with you. Sympathy and Empathy plays a vital role. On the other hand, gaining a friend especially a guy friend would sometimes lead to a relationship that is way beyond simple freindship could offer== he becomes your Boyfriend. Cute right? But it is really happening.. meaning it is true... Now what is his role? Is there any difference? well, you both laugh; you both cry; you both fight whatever the trials you both will encounter along the way. He helps you to grow, you help him to face life with courage. In short once more, TRUST is fabricated. You make special moments to the point of getting into the line of only two special people can understand the meaning... so I say, it is me and you alone... Again, Sympathy and Empathy plays a vital role. Now here is the exciting part.. or should i say the weird portion.. she-the BESTFRIEND becomes the friend of him-the BOYFRIEND (my boyfriend). They talk, they chat, they laugh with each other, they share ideas and probably they become close to each other. Should the question be of TRUST is build too? I GUESS!! And here you are, blinded by the TRUST you always carry for them, vast trust. Along came the worse case scenario, this two people whom you fabricated the TRUST with, made you a fool!!!! Goodness sake!!! They cheated on you!!! They ended up falling for each other and deceive you. Then the word sorry comes out in their stinking guts. They are forgiven, BUT why is that the same freaken thing happen? Now my question to you is this, HOW DO YOU DEFINE TRUST FOR ME? I am just so puzzled now... Help me out!! Maybe your side of the story can lighten up the big question of TRUST. So, HOW DO YOU DEFINE TRUST?

They violated your trust. That is plain to see. The question i have for you is this.. can you forgive? i was in a similiar situation. My younger sister needed somewhere to stay so she came to stay with me and my boyfriend... a lil while later they were married. i forgave but i could never trust again. Now, i am in a relationship that is based completely on trust. There can be no lil white lies, no ommission of things, nothing. Complete communication and honesty builds complete trust. The absence of either thing destroys trust.
