This is me, this is 100% true in my case and I think, believe it should be true for almost everyone here.
I gave it back to my wife far too soon, it wasn't earned and it wasn't deserved.
Because I did that? I was a fool, and I was mad at her for what? Because I wanted to trust her and she didn't deserve it? Because SHE made me a fool...hehe...notice that? I made it her fault. When it was in fact mine. Wanting something badly doesn't make it happen.
I believe in Starsky's point...with an addition.
Trust must be earned by them BUT; Trust must be verified, by you.
And only when they want it and only when you can give it.
