I think the burden of proof is on him, so to speak. I see this very often in posts. The WS tries to make it appear that the issue is lack of trust from the LBS. Well, duh!
That's a little trick that apparently works pretty well, but it's wrong as sin. The LBS does not have to prove anything. You did not commit A in the M.....he did. He needs to realize he has to earn some of that trust from you. He's trying to put the monkey on your back. Don't play that game.
He doesn't get off so easy as that. He needs to walk a fine line to prove himself, don't you think? Yes, trust is a choice that you make, but when your trust is betrayed then the value of him having that precious trust again...just went up. He needs to value your trust instead of walking all over it and taking it for granted. Now, he's making it to be the problem....well, we know that's not it, right?
I think you might want to look at the trust issue as, "I'll trust you until you give me reason not to". See how long he'll respect that.
It is not about what you feel should work in your M. It is about doing the work that gets the right results. Do what works!
