trust meter=very low.
i had this boyfriend about a half year ago and he took my cherry but cheated on me a month later. and then broke up with me. it really stung and i never got over him. i was mad at him for lying, and it nearly drove me over the edge.
we kept in touch for a while and reconciled our friendship. he asked me back out about 2 weeks ago. but the problem is i dont trust anything he says. we just had a fight because he told me he had something i really wanted, but wanted me to tell him something that i did the other night that i wouldnt tell him. i told him and he felt "bad" and told me the thing he had was a fake and said that he thought i'd tell him a lie.
i dont lie to him! the only thing i would lie about is if im feeling ok or if im happy. im a very depressed person but i dont want to worry him. and i told him that.
how is he supposed to earn my trust back?? what should i do? im really head over heels for this guy and we have a lot of fun and hes just really special to me and i dont want to lose him but i know i will if i can never trust him.

Maybe give some free advice about: Love Life?
From what you have said, I firmly believe that this guy does not deserve you. Firstly, you need to understand that no one deserves to be cheated on and your situation would be especially difficult. If you are already feeling unhappy, this guy will either make that worse or you will become too attached to him and suffer immensely if you break up again. The day you realize you are independent and truly ready to be in a relationship is the day you should consider getting back together with him.
But then again, by that time you will be feeling confident and ready to explore new options. Once you overcome your emotions and feel happy you may be able to have a great friendship with him; however, even if you forgive him for cheating, I advise against forgetting what he did. He hurt you which likely took your self-confidence down a notch or two.
The reason you are having a hard time trusting him is because he does not deserve your trust. Right now he has power and control over this relationship. He cheated, you hurt, he left, you hurt more, he came back, and now you feel like you are the one with a problem because you don't trust him. Honestly, I wouldn't trust him either. You didn't deserve to be cheated on in the first place, no matter what the situation was.
This problem is deeper than it seems from a first glance. I know you are asking about him but you should be putting your energy into making yourself feel good first. Wouldn't you love to know that no matter what happens, you'll be okay? It takes confidence and strength. It sounds challenging, but it is the only thing you need to worry about, everything else will fall into place once you're self-confident.
If you have any questions involving how to be self-confident or relating to this question, feel free to ask me and I'll do my best to help you! No matter what you decide, good luck and keep in mind that you deserve a guy that will not make you feel upset or bad about yourself.

I am going to tell you a story between me and my son's biological father.
We started dating and hit it off, I ended up pregnant and was a little scared but everything was still okay. We got in disputes once in a while but nothing seris. Once he told me he had dreams about another female. I was kind of sad about it but what ever. Then at the forth of july parade he introduced me to the girl and said we should all hang out. I was pretty mad. He had another friend named Jamie. There was something about this girl I hated. He and I were talking on the phone one night and told me he was going to sleep. I said okay. His younger sister called my phone asking if i had Jamies number and I said no John has it ask him and she said I am trying to get a hold of him he just got in her car. He cheated on me with that girl and he was my first love my life the father of my unborn child at the time. My son is 2 years old today and he doesnt pay child support, has said awful things about my child and now that i am engaged wants to be part of his life.
Once you lose your trust like that for someone its almost impossible to gain back. I still believe once a cheater always a cheater. If you two put your hearts into making it work than anything is possible. If your the only one trying it wont work it. If it does that is good I am happy for you. If it doesn't remember there are plenty of men out there and some whom have the heart to care and treat a woman riight. good luck.
