"Trust" -- Is it . . . .

inherent in a relationship? (whether platonic or romantic)

OR, Is it earned?

It's different for each person and their individual comfort level in interpersonal relationships.

Trusting in the initial connection is fine. The rest has to develop as it develops, you know?

I think there has to be a base of trust after you go with your gut instinct and their history if known. If you screw up however, you have to reearn it.

At the start of a relationship, trust is earned.

Once the relationship is going, trust is inherent.

Once trust is broken in a relationship, it can never fully return.

And that's the bottom line.

I used to trust people until they burned me. Then I was burned pretty bad once. Now it has to be earned. But it doesn't seam to cause problems. I guess that's the norm and I was just a pushover before.

Trust has to be earned in any kind of relationship.
Once that trust has been vilolated it is very difficult to get it back.
