7 Ways to Get Over Trust Issues in Your Relationship

5. Avoid negative repercussions for lies and betrayal

Negativity, punishment and harsh repercussions hold no place in the process of getting over trust issues in a relationship. Don’t force each other to go in a shell by creating pressure of punishment. If you or your girlfriend have betrayed each other’s trust, you will need positivity, support and patience to rebuild trust, not heavy handed repercussions.

6. Be prepared for doubt and suspicion at every step

Once either of you has betrayed the other’s trust, doubt and suspicion are likely to surface in your relationship. While you can’t expect such feelings to go away entirely, you may have to manage them and channelize them in the right way. Don’t allow doubt and suspicion to dominate your relationship. That is the key to getting over trust issues in a smooth manner.

7. Be tolerant, accepting and forgiving of each other

No relationship is likely to be completely free of trust issues. Reassure yourself with the fact that everyone faces trust problems and you are not the only one fighting the battle. Be tolerant, accepting and forgiving towards your girlfriend and allow her to feel the same way for you. Every time you feel that you are losing your temper over a trivial trust issue, mentally ask yourself to calm down and refrain from saying anything until your temper has subsided.
