I have given my husband a chance twice, and he has broken it both times. Should I ever trust him again?
Our human minds crave simplicity and linearity, so we are often tempted to look at behavior and intentions as a simple one equals the other, but the mind doesn’t work that way. Your husband might have the best intentions in the world, but without knowing and working on the root cause of the behavior that breaks your trust, nothing will change, and it’s no one’s fault. It’s just how humans operate. Behaviors are far more complex and often subconsciously driven. On top of that, you can have generations of habitual behaviour that can take decades of hard work to change. In addition, emotions add a complex and intricate layer to all of this. In short, you and your husband need to define the root cause and work together to resolve it which goes much further than simply giving someone a chance.
Collaborate on the problem and co-create a solution together that will not only change the root cause but also bring you closer together as you learn more about each other’s psyches.
