10 Things I Don’t Trust After Being Cheated On

1 – I don’t trust people that are overly affectionate or complimentary; I assume there is a motive to their flattery.

2 – I don’t trust it when people are too eager to proclaim that they would “never hurt me” and that they “are not the type of person” to do that. I especially don’t trust it when they use the words, “Trust me.”

3 – I don’t trust that permitted and known access to a person’s technology, friends, etc. means that there is nothing to hide.

4 – I don’t trust people that demonstrate a lack of courage (note: that is profoundly different than a lack of fear.) They hide rather than face.

5- I don’t trust in the security of “affair-proof;” no relationship is immune under the right conditions.

6 – I don’t trust stories when too many details are provided without prompting.

7 – I don’t trust things that seem too good to be true.

8 – I don’t trust it when people say they’re okay.

9 – I don’t trust words that are not consistently supported by actions.

10 – I don’t trust people who won’t admit to mistakes; they too-easily rely on lies to hide their failures.
