Terribly darling eileen.......And nature freak.....trust is like love...very risky...an ongoing issue of weighing the cost....should be give and take..... remember that all relationships ..(in any context) are not without issue due to the fact that we are human and imperfect from the start.It would help if you created perameters ...where you 'draw the line'.Dr.Phil calls these 'deal breakers'.Mine are....people who enjoy being mean..... chronic deceit...people who only consider themselves.....we must have guidelines.Look back on your experiences & decide what things occurred ...that in retrospect... you'd never tolerate again...and set boundaries.But remember that as humans ...you will never find a perfect person,only those you can negotiate with,and take a risk.(one cue is to observe how they are with others.Past behavior predicts future behavior often time.)~Woolf
