Is there anyone who has never disappointed you? In my experience disappointment has been part of every important relationship. Sometimes I am the one who disappoints, sometimes it’s the other person but its gonna happen in every relationship of any real significance and duration. Therapy can be a really good place to figure out what to do with that disappointment, because certainly it’s going to show up everywhere else too. So it’s a life skill: I’m hurt, I’m mad, let’s figure it out, we aren’t going to discard each other.

I think it’s fine to go in saying “I’ve been hurt and I have trust issues” but the goal would be not to find someone who won’t hurt or disappoint but rather someone who has the wherewithal to work through the inevitable hurt and disappointment.
