How To Get Trust Back In Relationship: Trust Tips
It was a few years ago. I had a friend, let’s say his name was Rahul. He loved his girlfriend a lot, but due to a small mistake, their relationship almost came to the verge of breaking. He had lied, that too not about anything big, he had just hidden a small thing. But the truth is that whether the trust is broken due to a big reason or a small reason, the pain after breaking is the same.
Rahul used to say again and again, “Yaar, I did not do it intentionally. Now how do I win her trust?” At that time I also understood that losing trust is easy, but getting it back is the most difficult task. Perhaps you too must be thinking while reading this, “Yes, the same thing has happened to me too.”
So let’s talk from the heart.
Why does trust break?
- First of all it is important to understand why the trust broke.
- Have you ever hidden anything without telling?
- Have you not kept any promise?
- Or did you say something unknowingly that hurt the other person?
Whatever the reason, once trust is broken, the relationship starts to falter. And yes, this happens not only in couples but also in friends, family and even business partnerships.
Why is it difficult to regain trust?
Because the human mind is like a camera. The moment someone gets hurt, that frame is saved forever. And it is not easy to erase it. The other person thinks – “If he lied once, he can lie again.”
But difficult does not mean impossible.
Ways to regain trust
Now let’s come to the real point. If you really want to save your relationship and want to mend the broken trust, then adopt these things.
- First of all, admit your mistake
Don’t say, “I just did it as a joke.” Trust is not a joke. Admitting a mistake is not a weakness, but the strength to save the relationship.
- Actions speak louder than promises
“I will change” or “I will never do this again” sounds good, but it only works when the other person sees the change.
- Be patient
You will think that everything will be fine as soon as you apologize. But it doesn’t. Give the other person time. Let his wounds heal.
- Bring transparency
Now don’t hide anything. Even if it is a small thing. Trust is built when the other person sees that you are open and honest.
- Make way for conversation
Sometimes we think that it is right to remain silent so that the fight does not escalate. But the truth is that silence increases more misunderstandings. Speak what your heart says and listen to it.
- Take small steps to regain trust
Trust does not return immediately. Just like a plant grows slowly, relationships also become stronger slowly.
Ask yourself questions to regain trust
- Do you really want to change, or are you just afraid of breaking up?
- Are you able to understand the other person’s pain, or are you just stuck in your own pain?
- Will you be able to put in honest effort over a long period of time?
If the answer to these questions is “yes”, then you have the right intention to save your relationship.
How to handle yourself after trust is broken in a relationship
To be honest, trust is not just related to a person, it is also related to our soul. When our trust is broken, we start blaming ourselves.
But remember – only humans make mistakes. And every mistake also gives an opportunity to learn. If you learn to forgive yourself, only then will you be able to give trust to the other person.
Small gestures can bring back trust
- Calling on time
- Keeping promises made
- Listening to the other person completely
- Laughing at mistakes and learning from them
These small steps have a big impact.
In the end…
Remember Rahul’s story? Yes, the same one I told in the beginning. He worked hard slowly, accepted his mistakes and today his relationship is strong again.
Maybe you also have the same chance. Yes, trust has been broken, but if the love is true and the effort is honest, then trust will definitely return.
The bottom line
Trust is the foundation of a relationship. If the foundation shakes, the whole building shakes. But if you work with patience, honesty and truth, then that foundation can be made strong again.
So the next time someone asks you “How to get back trust in a relationship?” then just smile and say –
“By accepting the mistake, giving time and being truthful.”
👉 Now tell me, have you ever tried to win someone’s trust again? If yes, then how?
