Coming from a love life past like mine, trust issues aren't the easiest thing to work through. However, when you meet someone who has had their trust taken advantage of too, it makes you realize that not all relationships will be the same as the last one.
Yes, I will say that it is very difficult to let your guard down, and it's difficult to let your significant other feel like they can let their guard down too.That is why I am here to tell you that there are little things you can do to reassure them you are there and loyal. Even if you 100% trust each other, it's not a bad thing to keep up with the little reminders of your loyalty.
Side note: this is coming from a girl who tends to be emotional and overthinks everything, just keep that in mind... lol
1. Send him a nice text while he's busy.
You know he's busy, but letting him know you're thinking of him is a nice subtle gesture. Guys seem like they don't have feelings, but I promise he appreciates it.
2. Don't let yourself get tired of those valuable conversations.
You will be surprised at the communication that happens late at night when he's walking you to your car. In my opinion and experience, this is where a lot of the valuable conversations have happened. I'm not sure what to tell you what to talk about, but we have had several amazing late night talks that turned into a 45-minute conversation.
3. Look at him in his eyes, and tell him you are not going anywhere.
Eye contact makes a difference, especially when he has the most attractive eyes you've ever seen.
4. Plan fun things.
This could entail whatever you want. You could definitely plan a huge, extravagant day, but what seems to be some of the most meaningful memories are the small, fun, and random ones.
5. Lastly, don't leave his side no matter what either of you is going through.
If you believe you are meant to be, then this one explains itself.
Trust is a big thing in a relationship, which isn't easy for some people to just give out, especially if they haven't had the best experience. Emotions are a powerful thing, so be sure to keep in mind that a relationship is a two-way street.
