Admit the Problem

If you and your partner have a trust issue, the first thing to do is acknowledge the problem. No need to be afraid of the partner's reaction later. You just need to be honest about the problems you feel. This way, you will realize the need to do something to fix the problem in the relationship.

Slowly build trust

It is not easy to restore a broken trust. However, if you still love your partner, it's a good idea to slowly trust them back. There's no need to rush. Take the best time in your opinion to be able to regenerate trust.

Distinguish trust and control

People with trust issues often feel the need to control things around them. You may feel betrayed or taken advantage of if you don't have complete control over every situation. However, this will only damage your relationship in the long run. Learning how much control you have to exert in certain situations is the key to building trust with others.

Make trust a priority

Trusting others can be difficult. But building trust is an important part of any relationship. Make trust a priority in your life, even if it is a challenging thing.

Can be trusted

If you are trying to build trust with your partner, then you have to be willing to trust them first. This means that you need to be open about your feelings, opinions, thoughts, and boundaries.

In addition, you also need to know that everyone can make mistakes. Learning how to balance these two ideas will help build healthy interpersonal relationships that are based on trust.
