Teen2TeenHelp answered Tuesday July 6 2010, 2:37 am: I think you should try to figure out why you would sleep with your ex the day after you and your boyfriend broke up. Maybe you felt really vulnerable due to the situation of losing him. Explain to him why you did what you did and from there you should be able to work it out. Tell him that you promise for it to not happen again and make sure you keep by your word. [ Teen2TeenHelp's advice column | Ask Teen2TeenHelp A Question ]

The only way you are going to gain his trust again, is if you be honest from here forth. Tell him you that you thought it would be okay since you had just broke up with him. Say you are sorry that it happened (let the past be the past), you are willing to talk about 'rules' needed in your relationship (to keep it going and so you are on the same level), and that you will try to respect his needs from now on. He may not believe you or trust you at first (keep telling him every now and then until he does), but after you have told him what I have said above, he will have a better respect for you and then it is all up to him.
You cannot make someone trust you more, you can only stick to your word and continue showing your honesty until your guy says he believes you; only then will he truely trust you. Trust is a hard thing to gain.. it takes patience, respect for one another, and determination to gain the others trust. Show him your honesty and your heart, then you will be on your way <3 [ gr8fruit's advice column | Ask gr8fruit A Question ]
