Trust and Respect in Relationships?

http://psychcentral.com/lib/2008/trust-and-vulnera...

Trust and respect are mutual and they are earned. With that being said, should I trust any of my ex's again after he violated my trust to start with and he never had any respect for me at all?

It's all a little one sided, on their parts. If someone says they would give up their ENTIRE life for you is that person a narcissist? Definitely not because a narcissist would not give up their life for anyone. A narcissist is not capable of loving anyone, except themselves.

For women that are in relationships and trust and respect have gone, why do you stay?

    There are too many new undiscovered people in this world to dwell on the ones who hurt us in the past.

    Move on and find someone new. If your relationship did not work out before, there is no reason to believe that it will work out if you take them back.

    I stayed in a bad relationship because we had a child together. He told me that he would take my son and I would never see him again. Then I figured out that what he was saying was not possible. I moved out, but continued to see him because we had a child together.

    The other men that I dated that I did not have a child with I did not play games. Once I was done, I left. But I wanted to make sure that my child had a connection with his father. I was not going to be the reason for my child's father not being in my child's life.

    I'm a guy but I've been in this situation I trusted my girlfriend (we got together shortly after she broke up with her ex) and told me that she couldn't hang out with me one day come to find out, she was hanging out with her ex. I found out the hard way by catching them at her house. She said that she didn't want to tell me cause it would of hurt my feelings (which it did) I get that they were together for a long time but not telling me was a blow to my ego and lost all trust in her

    Why did I stay? I stayed in the relationship

    Because I care for her and I knew when they broke up she was hurt, and I knew she would start falling for the wrong guys and basically ruin her life, and no matter what I didn't want her to end up with a terrible life like I did before in my past.

    How did she earn my trust back? She earned it by just telling me the truth, she told me when she was hanging out with anyone so I wouldn't feel hurt. I told her I just wanted to know so I didn't feel like she was going behind my back and since then she hasn't done it since (that I know of, of course)

    Was it worth it? We have now been going out for 4 months and still going strong and I love her, which makes it easier on everything and makes me happy

    For you It depends on what he did, is he the type of guy to mean something like that, or the guy who just doesn't care and doesn't want to take you out and make you feel happy like it was at the beginning of the relationship. All depends if you think it's worth it and will last

    would you give all your love to a little baby? of course you would. men are simply bigger versions of babies, all wanting, all needing something they do not have.
