How To Rebuild Trust When It Is Broken?

[MaazHussain]

Trust is a vital component in any healthy relationship, whether it be romantic or platonic. It is the foundation that helps build intimacy, security, and reliability between two individuals. However, there are instances where trust can be broken, whether it be through infidelity, lying, or other forms of betrayal. In such cases, rebuilding trust can be a difficult and time-consuming process, but it is possible with effort and commitment from both parties. Here are some tips on how to rebuild trust when it is broken.

• Acknowledge the breach of trust: The first step in rebuilding trust is to acknowledge the breach. This means owning up to your actions or inactions and taking responsibility for the damage caused. This shows the other person that you are aware of your mistakes and are willing to make amends.
• Apologize: Saying sorry is an essential step in the process of rebuilding trust. It shows the other person that you are remorseful for what you have done and that you value the relationship enough to make things right. An apology should be sincere, specific, and without any excuses or justifications.
• Communicate openly: Communication is key in rebuilding trust. Be open and honest about your feelings, intentions, and actions. Keep the other person informed about what you are doing to rebuild trust, and be willing to answer any questions they may have.
• Be consistent: Consistency is crucial in rebuilding trust. Follow through on your promises and commitments, and avoid making false promises or commitments that you cannot keep. This will show the other person that they can rely on you and that you are committed to rebuilding trust.
• Show empathy: Show empathy towards the other person's feelings and emotions. Understand that they may be hurt, angry, or upset, and be patient with them as they process their emotions. Validate their feelings, and listen to what they have to say without becoming defensive.
• Seek professional help: Rebuilding trust can be a challenging and complex process, and it may be helpful to seek professional help. A therapist or counselor can help both parties communicate effectively, process their emotions, and develop strategies to rebuild trust.
• Give it time: Rebuilding trust takes time, patience, and commitment. It may not happen overnight, and setbacks may occur. However, with time, effort, and a willingness to work on the relationship, trust can be rebuilt.

In conclusion, rebuilding trust after it has been broken is not an easy task, but it is possible. It requires effort, commitment, and a willingness to be open, honest, and consistent. It may take time, and there may be setbacks, but with patience and persistence, trust can be restored, and the relationship can be strengthened.

Very well said! Thanks for making a take on this! I think a lot of people struggle with patience in terms of building trust, as well as when to give up on creating trust, especially when it is one-sided. It takes two to tango!

[MaazHussain]

Patience is the key. It takes ages to win someone’s trust.

@MaazHussain especially to win it back! I think you summed this all up pretty well

[MaazHussain]

@WanderingLoveWizard thanks 🙂

Reestablishing Trust is a slow, frustrating, and grueling process that requires both parties determination to see things through. Divorce is never an option kind of people can usually make this work. Forgiving and forgetting are two different things though...

[MaazHussain]

That's true

[serious]

Yes these are good points. True, it is certainly possible to fix the trust issue even after it is broken but then thing is it will never be like before. The damage that is done is done and there is no undoing that.

Trust is like a mirror or a piece paper broken/crumbled will never be the same again.

[MaazHussain]

I think it depends on the nature of relationship. If its between parents and their children, it will be a different chemistry than if it is between spouse or girlfriend/boyfriend.

[GreatBigCircles]

The Acknowledgement part is a lot deeper than some people might think. Simply saying "I did something wrong" and knowing what you did is not enough. It's important the person dig in themselves and understand what led them to breach the trust, and how it hurt the other person.

[MaazHussain]

Exactly

You can never rebuild trust back to 100% of what it was. You can try and in some situations, some have developed trust again. Here is an example from a real-world case. A lady I know is married to an alcoholic. He has been dry for close to 30 years. One night I was with another female at her home. He was late, the wife said softly under her voice "I hope he is not drinking again". This is what I mean.

[MaazHussain]

That’s understandable, but that lady was talking about a former alcoholic person. The addiction of alcohol is something one cannot give up completely. It doesn’t matter for how long a person is dry, they just need a single moment of weakness and they’ll start drinking again.

Rebuilding trust after it has been broken can be a challenging and lengthy process. However, it is possible with dedication, effort, and communication. Here are a few steps to take when trying to rebuild trust:

Take responsibility: The first step in rebuilding trust is to acknowledge responsibility for the breach. Take ownership of your actions, apologize sincerely, and express regret for any harm caused.

you can't rebuild trust, its like a bullet from a gun or toothpaste from a tube, it can't go back. Once it is lost, all u can have is a damaged goods. So don't break it. What u have is all u got. Personally I have never broken trust, but it's always been broken on me. But its not impossible to keep trust alive, only it's hard.

anyone ever tried fixing a broken glass window? well you can't. you just have to replace that window completely

[Sorrento-Sun]

Good Take. However, If someone breaks my trust there's nothing they could do or say that could rebuild or earn back my trust.

[Jennz6]

Say that you are sorry and try hard to rebuild the trust that you lost

[MaazHussain]

Exactly

[sheenagwapa]

at times you just have to let go to build trust on yourself

[magiusX26]

often you can't. mist times, once trust is broken, its a permanent thing.
