Right now I need to work on trust with my SO...this seems to be the hardest thing to ever do. For those who been there, what are some of the things to do to really start trusting again. Any pointers?

It is very difficult to gain back someones trust once you have broken it and a lot depends on how that trust was broken, the reasons behind it and how forgiving the cheatde person is willing to be, but it's never the same once broken. I think the first step is to acknowledge that what you have done is wrong and ask to be forgiven, then never repeat the same mistake again.

I kind of think trust is something you sort of have to work on like patience and forgiveness. Every time you find yourself doing or thinking something that shows distrust of the other person, stop and remind yourself that you trust them, especially if they haven't done anything that should cause you not to trust them. If they have, then you have the forgiveness and trust issue to work on at the same time, which is harder.

Forgiveness isn't the issue here, I have forgiven them for past wrongs. However, a certain situation came up and I don't want to revert to old times. I want to believe their words without feeling stupid.
