Relationships

There are many factors that contribute to a healthy relationship. First and foremost is trust. Trust is something that has to be earned...it can be given until lost, but how effective is that? If trust is given with no prior experience it is like giving a bum a dollar on the street corner. You have no idea what the bum is going to do with that money. They may go buy alcohol instaead of food or shelter or hygiene products, or they might not even be a bum these days. You can choose to see the good in everyone or you can be tentative. Now, when trust is broken even by the slightest misconduct is it repairable? When feelings get hurt they are mendable most of the time, but time is a huge factor. When the person who commits the untruth admits to it...does it make make it better? Does the time in which the deviator admits to his guilt of straying from the truth matter? I will add more later.
