@melissadivaristhompson: Someone asked me in the comments last week if this was for couples where there's been some kind of infidelity. I've been thinking about that question ever since, because of how quietly it was asked. So this one's for you, and for anyone in the early part of rebuilding trust after infidelity who doesn't know what they're allowed to need. Most people around you will have an opinion about whether you should still be there. Very few of them will ask how you're sleeping. Or what it's like to walk into the kitchen and wonder what else you don't know. Here's what I see often with the couples I sit with. Trust tends to come back in small, boring, repeated moments. The honest answer that stays the same when you ask it again. The patience when you need to ask it again. The behavior that shows up before anyone has to request it. They're small, and they seem to count the most. And if you're the partner who broke the trust, this part matters. Trust usually comes back through what you do over and over, long after the big conversation is done. If there's still lying happening, or anything about your situation feels unsafe, please take it to a licensed professional who can see the whole picture. A video can't hold that for you. You don't have to have decided anything today.

I read what I can, but I can't reply to everyone and may not see your message. If you're struggling, please reach out to a licensed mental health professional in your area.
