I NEED to know if I can put my full trust in my current love interest.
I fully appreciate your response to this question. I'm sure that you are very busy, and you get a lot of people asking for free answers. Please consider my question.
My sincere thanks...
I'm not so sure that you're going to be pleased with this answer, but I certainly did consider your question very carefully.
What you really need to know is that you absolutely must put your full trust in yourself, you feelings and your own choices. If love is anything, it is a complete surrender...and that means that you must be able to trust yourself to deal with what occurs in surrender...i.e. the Unknown. Unless you trust yourself and your own choices, you'll be setting up the Other for Betrayal...either of you or by you.
Surrender doesn't mean putting up with whatever happens...it means accepting responsibility for dealing with it. We all know how difficult it is to trust ourselves to take responsibility (and act responsibly) in the heat of the moment. Nobody's perfect, but we can all take comfort in the idea that maturity, wisdom and love are very much like plants that grow and flower if we take proper care of them.
Take some time to consider my answer. There's much more to say, of course...but everything you need to know and trust is all right there within you.
Thanks for asking...
