Trust is earned and builds over time. Years of trust can be hurt or destroyed with one bad act of distrust. For example, if you get caught in a lie, miss a deadline or do a poor job, or are disloyal, you may hurt your relationship. Your relationship may never be the same again, or it could end. Be sure to always be trustworthy to avoid having to repair trust.

After trust is broken, we obviously need to follow all of the tips to building trust. However, to truly repair trust, the starting point is to admit mistakes and give a sincere apology. People apologize more often to strangers than to their romantic partners and family members. When we do something that breaks trust, the other person is likely to be emotional, so we do need to stay calm and calm the other person, and apologizing helps.

Even if you don’t believe you did anything wrong, you can apologize for breaking trust with the other person.
