I've broken trust with my boyfriend with sarcasm and snooping. Now he tells me he has no idea why he stayed in the relationship at some times in the past. We have been dating nearly two years and he say he loves me to death; he wants to be with me. However, he has now told me that he doesn't trust me because of my past actions. In fact, he said even if he were to marry me he would still believe I have my doubts about him and/or would be snooping. He has admitted to hiding things from me and even lying in fear of my reactions to simple tings. I need to know how to rebuild trust and connection as I don't want to live the rest of my life without someone who can't trust be whole-heartedly or had accepted my fatal flaws as the way things are. Please help.

Communication is clearly needed, but you two also need a mediator to help you discuss issues that may not immediately appear on the surface. I would consider seeking the help of a good counselor. If you two are Christian, see a pastor at a church, or find some other means to find a good facilitator.

You've learned that it's wrong to snoop. Now, move on and find a boyfriend that you trust more. Obviously, the trust thing is going to break this relationship somewhere along the line because you've both made it an issue. Maybe your fatal flaws are part of you but there probably are parts of him that make you think he could be hiding something from you. And sure enough, he did hide some things from you. The fact that he blames you - he hid things because you are snoopy - is a clever way to protect himself. Basically, he'd like to keep some things private. Lots of couples live in harmony without knowing everything about each other's lives. But you are not like that. There are just as many couple who share everything and wouldn't think of hiding things. You need to find the other half for you that fits in the latter group.

The two of you need to sit down and discuss this issue... communication is one of the main key factors in building an enduring relationship. The two of you need to realize that without trust... you have nothing. You need to stop snooping and being sarcastic and he needs to stop hiding things from you and just be honest. You both have your work cut out for you... and if you want your relationship to last... then, I would suggest that you both invest your share to make it work out or let it go. Good Luck!

i think of that the only thank you to have faith somebody is by making use of taking a bounce of religion. in case you % to forgive him for mendacity to you you could desire to 'forget' in a manner that he did misinform you and supply him the prospect to harm you returned. enable him in returned and have faith him. be careful yet do no longer throw his previous lies in his face each and every of the time or you will have not have been given any possibility. in case you like this to paintings with him regrettably you ought to provide him the prospect to misinform you returned. If he does not then issues ought to paintings out, if he does then you definately'll understand. be careful what you think nevertheless - reality is now and returned stranger than fiction and it is often annoying for somebody attempting to regain have faith from somebody they love.

Your fatal flaws aren't acceptable to anyone. You need to prove to him every day that he can trust you and make him feel good again! You owe it to him! If you screw up again-It will be over!
