Trust is a fundamental in a relationship. i do tell people that being in a relationship be it dating or what so ever form of relationship, that love shouldn't be the most desire in a relationship because love can be broken at any time and sometimes love is also just a medium of interest between people based on one entity or another and when these entities aren't there anymore, love fades away.
But the most thing that can always rebuild the love in a relationship is trust. once the trust is there, the love automatically has a foundation to rest on and thus, not easily broken.
So I want to share a key factor on the consequences of a broken promise and how it could lead to trust.
It's not easy to trust someone genuinely in he world today because there is clearly no room in the hearts of many due to broken promises they've encountered one way or the other in life.
Have you ever been in a relationship? i believe you should or must have been in one before now so here is a story.
Some years back while i was still at my early age, obviously i was yet to learn so many things about life but well, as a teenager we dive into certain actions without looking forward to the consequences thereof.
There was this girl I had who happened to be a close friend. we always had a couple of hangouts together occasionally and at a point, people thought we were actually dating but honestly we were just friends and not a single string was attached.
At some point in our friendship, she began to make requests and demand for some items like I was responsible for it like a boyfriend. well everything was going smoothly until the young lady asked for what i couldn't afford. initially a thing like this is one that i would always do for people on this very day she needed some amount of money for something and i promised to help out at a given day and time because i was also expecting some money myself and I was the last hope she had for this money and i was also certain that I was going to have that money at the end of the day do I could help her with it.
Then unfortunately, the money I expected didn't come with so many excuses and i began to wonder what I was going to tell the young lady at the end of the day and the shame i 2as about to face. Well, she called my phone the first time and i couldn't pick up due to pressure and nervousness. i don't even know what to tell her and I was going to explain myself for her to understand.
She called several times and i didn't respond until she just appeared in my house and found me just with my phone "oh so you've been seeing my call but refusing to pick up? nice" this was the expression I saw on her face but when i wanted to explain myself to her she wasn't interested. obviously at this point you can tell she was angry and assumed that I turned her down so badly.
after this day our relationship and friendship bond became loose and we began to move apart until we no longer contact each other anymore.
This is a big lesson that a broken promise can result to a broken trust.
