Talk it out. This seems obvious, but when two people in a relationship talk, it helps if the couple trusts each other. Building trust can be especially hard with someone you’re in a relationship with because that person has the power to hurt you. By practicing constant communication and keeping it open and honest, trust can be slowly built, or rebuilt.
Forget the past. Don’t hold on to old hurts. Everyone’s been hurt, and you need to work through those issues, not hold on to them and shove them in the other person’s face. This will only make things worse, and it won’t resolve anything. The important thing is to not dwell on the things that happened.
Focus on the present. Don’t let your mind think about the bad things that could happen. When you focus on what could be, you’re heading down a road that destroys trust. Negative thoughts and think about what IS happening, not what could happen.
