I would say about a 9. I trust my husband and it is very important that I do because other wise we would just fight all the time over things that aren't really happening. I would not give a full 10 though because just because you trust a person doesn't mean they will stay completly faithful. I have found when you give your bf or gf complete trust is when they do cheat. I'm not saying don't completly trust but don't discredit them neither because that can cause more problems in the relationship.
Like I said I do trust my husband but if he started lying about where he was going, who he was with, staying out late or not even coming home at all there definatly would be some questions I would be asking.

Thank you. There are a lot of people that say they would give a full 10 plus but I think these are people that supposivly have never been hurt or betrayed before. I know not everyone does things like this to break the trust but when people see if you are too trusting then they will take advantage of you. People do it to my husband all the time and he just blows it off like thats ok. Just like when we bought our house our realtor totally screwed him over and so did the lady he bought it from. They knew they would be able to get him in and it worked.

The rate for trust for me is 11!! If I don' t trust somebody I can't have any real relation with him. Trust in any relationship is fundamental.

Trust is 100% required in a relationship. Trust holds the relationship together along with love. Without either of them, the relationship won't last.

I would say that is a huge 10. It you cant trust someone that you are with what the point of being with them to start with? Trust is a funny thing it takes years to build but only a few seconds to destroy. Without trust you have nothing!

i agree with you on this...time is what makes trust....and time itself destroys it(not in all cases though)..:-)

I rate it a 10. Trust is what makes or breaks the relationship. If you can trust each other, your relationship will turn out well. If you can't, then the relationship will eventually go sour.

Well, every relationship starts with trust. You can only consider someone as your friend, initially, when you trust this person. You won't consider someone that you don't trust as a friend. Later, if this trust decrease, then the relationship goes down. That's why my rate for trust in a relationship is 10.
