Why do people say this?

christie	i don't even think about how much I trust my husband I just do. he's never given me a reason to doubt. beyond that we're both too lazy to try and live 2 lives in the first place.

Pam H	Plenty of spouses have cheated when the other thought they they had 100% trust. There are plenty of people in your spot that say "Oh, I trust my husband 100%." only to find later he cheated. You just never know.

Been There Done That	Personally, I believe that people who aren't Trustworthy say this.

apples	is this a rhetorical question. Thats awesome that you and yourhubby have such a wonderful relationship but in the grand scheme of things.. its not common

Elt	Do you keep your question/answers private hoping we don't notice you ask the same question more than once? Didn't you like the first answers?

Amy M welcomed twins 12-7-08	I too trust my husband 100%. And it may seem strange, but I also trust my 7 year old daughter 100%(to a yr old's capabitlities). There are people who trusted people and were badly betrayed. Like the woman who was married to Gary Ridgeway, the Green River killer. She honestly had no idea. But I think that's rare, at least in my own experiences.

Amy	Everyone lies to some extent. My great grandmother never knew that my grandfather had cheated on her. She trusted him implicitly. Now I have a new great-aunt that I'd never met as a result. The point isn't necessarily that you shouldn't trust them, but that you can't expect they're always going to be honest with you...whether it's done out of respect for your feelings or as a matter of tact.

montrealmarco1	Many don't trust themselves and have many issues when it comes to trust. I don't think it has anything marriage has anything to do with it. People take vows and unfortunately it is not always taken seriously.

rpetch007	if its not 100% then its not a maridge

nikku sir	ya you are very right,trust is the foundation of love and marriage.if the relationship is based on trust you can always trust but if on the weak base of lust then there are every chance of cheating

min77ion	I agree,,,they don't know the situation...But we do live in a culture that is very deceiving and mean......If you don't learn to trust then,,,what do you have??? Trust is very very very important in any relationship,,,and still should be....

highland_white_wolf	I think the reason so many people say this (me too, sometimes) is because they were hurt very badly by people once upon a time. Their trust in other human beings was so badly damaged, that they closed themselves up & withdrew from other people, believing it was the only way to protect themselves from being betrayed & hurt again. I know because I've been hurt so many times when I've foolishly placed my trust in the wrong type of people & now I have trust issues.

Laura N	well that seems logical if you cant trust him with your life then you shouldnt have married him. sounds like you know where its at.

Claire B	I think people who say this generally have a reason to do so, i.e they have been cheated on, lied too or possibly even had a bad time being brought up as a child. On the other hand every one person has a secret which you do not tell certain people, this does not necessarily mean they are not trustworthy just that it is the human nature to keep things to ones self sometimes so as not too hurt the next person.

Emmy	Lucky you. I think most people simply can't get that close to one person. I love my husband with all my heart, but I don't trust him 100%. I trust 100% that he wouldn't hurt me or for everything important, but when it comes down to it I simple would never put 100% of my trust into anyone, I think that goes to anyone who has ever been hurt before. So like I said lucky you, and I hope it never disappoints you.

Valerie	Because people have put their hearts and souls into a relationship and its ended up very badly. People change every 7 years and sometimes individuals wants and desires alter than their other halves. That is a fact of life, but doesn't happen to everyone, granted. Its nice to hear your story. Thats the way it should be.

aisha	b/c people say things doesn't mean we have to agree with it!!!! i agree with you that you can put your trust in a person but never say never.......b/c we can bring things into our house by saying things like that!!!

Jackie	They have obviously been burned pretty bad by someone that they DID trust 100% in the past and are holding whatever happened against the rest of mankind. That is just immaturity, and not dealing with their own emotions regarding what happened. You can't hold grudges against everyone else for something that one other person did. NO two people are exactly alike. And i do completely agree with you-if you don't trust your spouse 110% you should not be married. There is no relationship without trust.

*PrincessPraise*	People who say this are usually those who have been hurt badly before so they have been exposed to untrustworthy people but you have no reason to feel ashamed that you trust your hubby just thank God you have someone who you can trust cos its alot of people that dont !x

filthy_crumb	Well, Beth, people have this little thing called "free will." That allows them to do whatever they damn well pease whenever they want. By definition then, no one can be completely trusted ever. It's not an insult to you or your loved one, it's just a statistical thing. Trust away 100%.

Liia Sophia	The only person you can trust 100% is yourself. That is th eonly person that you really now. Anyone that thinks they know someone else is a fool. Lady, you know somethings about your husband but you do not know 100% of him. If you brainwash yourself that you do, then you deserve to receive what he does to you.

â™¥Pure Evilâ™¥	I think u can trust anyone u choose to trust! I trust everyone til they give me that reason not too! Hmmm maybe that's what my problem is...I trust to much and thats when I get hurt!

Kieron H	they say you can't trust anybody 100% because around a quarter of the things you say are false anyway, and your just going with the flow while saying it. i'd say more than a quarter but its just the same when you say that he would never do anything to hurt you or your marriage, unless he was lied to in the first place, lied to himself about it and now it affects you. this kind of calculation leads to 100% not true, and the more it continues, the more it fails, or proves itself untrue.

BabeHart	No, you don't "know" he would never do anything to hurt you or your marriage...you HOPE that he would not. There's a big difference. We cannot ever KNOW what another person may or may not do. We cannot get into their head and feelings and desires deep enough to truly know what they are capable of and what they are not (we can get a feeling for it, but we cannot KNOW...because sometimes even they don't know, until presented with a situation). Of all the cheating that occured in relationships, how often do you think the person cheated on thought their partner would do that to them? Just like you, most of them likely figured s/he would never do anything to hurt or betray them... We hope our partner will be loyal to us and honest with us...but we cannot KNOW that will happen because we cannot read their minds nor see the future.

redpeach_mi	i believe that you can never trust anyone 100%. people are inherintly out for themselves. that's just the way that it is. i have people that i trust and would do anything for and they woudl do anything for me, but bottom line is that i am the only peson that i fully trust.

rrossorr	everyone has their secrets. that's why they say you can't trust anyone 100%

Tesse Malou	never say never

Sean C	I fully trust my wife. I have 100% trust in her that she will never cheat on me or do anything to jeaprodize our realtionship. I can think about and question "is she cheating on me?" but I know that thought is irrational.

Belinda28	Because that is how many wives of serial rapists and killers felt. But seriously, I am able to trust people, but I also know that trust cannot be present without forgiveness. I don't walk around suspecting people of stuff and questioning their motives all the time, but I know full well from experience that you can't put anything past anyone. Everyone is capable of doing something you never thought they were.

~Devon's Mommy~	HI!!! =) I agree, you shouldn't get married if you cant trust the person 100%. I think people say this because they have been hurt in the past. Perhaps someone has cheated on him/her and they just don't know how to let it go.
