I think I should see trust as something that is earned as well. In hindsight I have given my H trust despite his misbehavior in the past and this has left me burned. Like a fool I just neglected my gut feeling. I know better now not to do the same mistake.

Damn this is a disconcerting fact. Yes, I agree, I can count only few people in life I can really trust. Even less now H is untrustworthy.
