It depends on the nature and severity of the trust broken. Generally I follow the old forgive but don't forget adage. I've tried different routes but this seems to work for me. If it's a big one, you are dismissed from my world: 10-4 baby!

I feel like once you lost trust in someone then it's really hard to get it back. And even once you feel that their trust is restored, then there will always be hesitation wether or not that person is truly telling you the truth.

I someone breaks my trust, they usually never regain it. I can forgive but I won't forget, and I will always be guarded to whoever broke my trust. Fool me once shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me.

Honestly, I love to believe in the good of humanity, as well as in rainbows and butterflies..But I don't think trust can be regain. At least not to the degree that it was before. Perhaps you can try and build a new trust, but you can't have the trust you had before. I can forgive easily but I don't trust as easily.

If someone breaks your trust that surely it would be just too dumb to allow it to happen again. I could easily forgive but forget! Why would you do that?. Each experience gives you an insight into yourself. You could still love that person but with an extra knowledge of their failings. Of course a lot depends on the situation and the reasons they had so I would certainly hear them out. But trust gone would be difficult to regain unless you had an attack of selective amnesia. And for some people that can be their best option.

It's pretty hard for someone to lose my trust. I really give anyone the benefit of the doubt. My trust is always there, and I am always understanding. If someone happens to lose my trust. Then they will not get it back. It's one of those things that is hard to lose, but can NEVER be regained once lost. So far there is no one i know who has lost my trust.

Nothing...once lost always lost. To me, when one breaks my trust its on the bases of "fool me once". So if I give them an opportunity to gain my trust, then that gives them the opportunity to "fool me twice"....and shame on me for that.

On the other hand, if someone losses my trust..it's all on them. If I get burned, I get burned: but still, only once.
And still I have an easy forgiving heart, but not an easily trusting. I'd forgive and forget the person and move on to someone more respectful toward me and reliable in the "truth department"

For me, it would really depend on the issue. It would take a very sincere apology and understanding that it may be a while before I can let it go completely. However, if I know that I cannot trust that person again, I think it's unfair to hold onto them.

I think that every time a trust is broken and you continue the relationship, it becomes a different relationship. Things will never be like they were before, even if the person is forgiven. You will never be able to forget what happened and it will forever alter the dynamic of your relationship. The whole deal is a bummer.

It depends on how sincere one's friendship is to me, and also how they broke my trust.

If I asked someone to take out the trash, and they simply forgot, I wouldn't really mind, and I might even ask them for another favor in the future if I felt simply forgeting to take out the trash was an honest mistake.
On the other hand, if my significant other cheated on me, I would forgive him, but I would immediately break off the relationship. Nothing he could say or do would ever convince me to go back to him.
If my best friend broke my trust in a huge way, like breaking an important promise, it would depend on her reasoning for doing so. She's a very honest person to me, and has told me the very few times she has talked about me behind my back or done something she feels that would hurt my feelings in any way. Her apology would also help me determine if I should ever trust her again.
I always forgive. I screw up, and I know that we all do. Yes, some more than others, but we all have our personal struggles. If not for anyone else, you should always forgive for yourself. It's miserable being bitter towards someone constantly. It eats you alive. A peaceful mind is a gift you can give yourself and strive for, even though it's not always an easy thing to do.
To regain my trust a friend would have to prove that he or she has changed. That's really the only sure way, and even then it's hard to have complete trust in that person.

I have learned to forgive and trust people to be who they are. Some learn from their experiences and some don't. It is up to me to know who I am dealing with and if they are capable of handling what I am trusting them with. Responsibility for my feelings and welbeing belongs to me. To blindly trust others indescriminantly is irresponsible. It is laziness to put the burden of responsibility on others then place the blame on them when they fail to handle it.

I think when a person betrays trust (and they're aware of it), they should work honestly to regain that trust. The act of honestly working to regain trust is what it takes to regain my trust.
