Gay Relationships - Restoring Your Trust: When The Man You Fall In Love With Betrays You - Part One

Trust is probably the most important ingredient in fostering a healthy committed relationship and is commonly known to be the glue that cements a couple together.

Trust is the endearing faith and confidence that your partner will respect you and not take advantage of or hurt you. It’s a feeling that he is genuine, authentic, dependable, and sincere. This connection allows you to be completely uninhibited and open yourself up to being vulnerable and share your most intimate thoughts and feelings—spots and all!

Time and experience with your man has enabled a climate of safety to evolve in your relationship because you’ve both consistently demonstrated honor and strength of character in your actions toward each other and those around you.

While trust takes time to develop and is a hallmark of a successful relationship, it can very quickly be damaged if not nurtured and cause severe consequences for the future of the partnership afflicted by an indiscretion. Once trust has been compromised, it can be very difficult to repair, and in some cases that damage can be irreversible. This article will offer some tips for those couples invested in bridging the gap and attempting to restore the impaired trust in their relationships.

Gay Relationships: Improving Communication

Disagreements aren't necessarily bad.  Couples that never argue are often in pretty boring relationships. Whatever the area of conflict, though, resolving the inevitable disagreements in relationships requires effective communicating.  Communication is a skill, and skills can be developed.  If you are good at verbal interaction with your partner, you may have learned it from watching your family of origin handle disagreements in healthy ways. 

If your family didn't handle this sort of thing effectively when you were young, however, you may find that communication is a frustrating or difficult experience for you.  Did you ever watch someone try to communicate with a non-English speaker by over-enunciating each word they speak, or by talking very loudly?  We sometimes do the same thing with one another. Some people deal with that frustration by turning up the volume and becoming aggressive with their partner.  Others of us may withdraw from conflict out of anxiety or fear. 

A relationship with two high-volume guys is likely to be energetic but overheated at times.  Two conflict avoiders may have a placid relationship, but each partner may feel rather disconnected from the other. You can learn to communicate, even if it feels a bit like going against your nature.  Here are some guidelines:
