Search Results: lack of trust

I wouldn't. Regardless of the context or circumstances, people who say this are almost always (like over 95% of the time) lying. The expression is used by dishonest people in order to try to elicit trust, to emphasise their good nature, which is something they lack.

Where I live the hospitals do not have good reputations, in fact the 2nd biggest had a rep amongst locals that if you go in you may never come out. The lack of education & even modernday illiteracy (yes we're in N America) of the locals means that in many ways there is leeway for less adept care than if we were in an area with better educated individuals.

Personally I find generally the care is medicore to subpar (I'm well educated even at my age, come from a medical family too) as I've found a few times that standards of practice anywhere else in the world - or even in hospitals in the same region - aren't done properly.

My father is in the hospital so I am on top of staff making sure of his care. I am not interfering but at same time I'm not sitting on my ass doing nothing & hoping for the best.

Soo makes me wonder in today's day & age when even a high school failure can use google to research medical care - say for example IV lines, when should they be changed - what people would do.

2 years ago I gave an acquaintance my phone number, which is something I already hate doing. For most calls he would either end the phone call after a few minutes to "see why 'she' is calling" or talk with people off the phone.

Important Side Note: He told me about a planned group outing with our mutuals and "someone else." I found out through social media that "someone else" was a girl I've seen around but never really spoke to. I suspect that "she" is the person he would cut our phone calls short to talk to. I thought it was really weird of him to hide that she was on the trip, especially since I recognized her; I literally don't care who he dates because I was only platonically interested in him at best. This incident, however, made me feel like being his friend was not a good idea.

One day, I told him that he should delete my number if he calls me again and exhibits poor phone etiquette. Like clockwork, the next time he called, he cut the call short because he couldn't understand why "she" was calling him. I told him to never call me again and promptly stopped answering calls and texts.

As time went on, he and "she" developed a relationship that he posted about. "She" recently had his baby. I was hanging out with some mutuals and he came around. I acknowledged him but cut my time short because I didn't want to spoil the mood. Since then he has been watching my social media stories, DMing me, and calling me. I have not responded.

A part of me feels bad for my lack of communication with him, but I also don't understand WHY he's trying to talk to me. A part of me wants to ask him why he's trying so hard to engage me when he should be tending to his girlfriend and his baby, and a part of me wonders if he's just trying to work on being friends. I personally do not trust this man and would rather he would accept that I told him to leave me alone 2 years ago than pursue a friendship.

WDYT?

A lot of people think a prenup is a sign of distrust. This is a claim very often used by people you CAN NOT trust (due to lack of maturity, unwillingness to compromise, selfishness, etc.)

You see a prenup is NOT a sign of distrust.

It is designed as protection IF something were to happen. Nobody can ever predict the future. As such a prenup is no different than having a fire extinguisher in your house or wearing a seat belt. You don't expect a fire or a car accident but you're protected if happens.

Just as how you don't expect the relationship to fail, but you & others are protected if does.
