Hi April,
I’m 24 and I’ve been dating my boyfriend for like nine months. At first it was okay but I’ve noticed trust still ain’t fully there yet. I often don’t want to believe what he says, even if it’s just a small thing and I know it’s not fair to him but I just can’t shake it.
We’re open about everything, especially about our past and how we feel but I really wanna make sure our relationship gets stronger and we can rely on each other fully. I wanna feel secure and I want him to feel the same as me.
What are some ways to actually build trust in a relationship without it feeling forced? How do you make trust grow so it just becomes natural over time?
