At work we used to say "Trust, but verify." But this was in the context of design and manufacture of electrical components. Not sure how well it works with people.

The recent surgery left me feeling the need to connect more with loved ones. I had been trying to please my employer above all else.

Trust but verify I think was said by Ronald Reagan back in his negotiations with Russia over nuclear weapons. I kind of feel like it does apply to people too. Because if you believe the lies ...... if your told things like " I love you " etc.... but she /he is screwing around behind your back ....well , you trust , but you never verify ....
Well all this can lead to a nuclear explosion !!! I'll be nice , I'll be helpful , I'll care ,
But I'm not going to be that way to " please" anyone. I do it for ME. Cause it makes me feel good. But on the other hand you can't overdo it. There's a lot of greedy people out there ready to take advantage of your kindness. It sucks that you have to figure all this **** out ! BUT your due diligence can prevent a catastrophic event. Sorry for the rant. I just had surgery and my wife came to visit and you can see how much she really didn't want to be there. I told her just to go.. Good luck on your journey.
