How to build trust in a relationship?

My husband travels for work and I am having trouble trusting him.

So my husband recently got a job where he travels. It’s been really hard so far on me and our three kiddos but how do I get passed trusting him while he is there???

If you dont trust him then thats the first problem you have to deal with. communication is key in a relationship. Talk about it with him and tell him how you honestly feel and then go from there.

Has he ever given you a reason not to trust him?

Need more info on this. Has he cheated before? Why don’t you trust him? Something going on? Or is it just you and your past? Talking goes a long way and if anything counseling?

A man can cheat on you, laying in bed next to you talking to another woman on his phone… trust has nothing to do with distance. You need to figure out why you dont trust him all of a sudden, and talk to him

Has he given you reason to not trust him in the past? If not, it’s your own insecurities and you need to get past that before you push him away.

Communication AND comprehension are key. You can talk all you want but if he isnt understanding then there will be no resolution.

you either trust him or not. Traveling isn’t going to make him cheat on you. If he wanted to cheat, he can do it here or there…wouldn’t matter

Why be with him if you can’t trust him because relationships are built on communication and trust… if you don’t have either what’s the point…

Divorce is easiest way to handle that problem. If you don’t trust them you shouldn’t be married to them

Has he given you a reason not to trust him? I would sit down & talk out your feelings with him. It may very well just be your own insecurities. That can happen easily with him traveling & you being at home with the kids. Communication is key.

If he hasn’t given you a reason not to trust him this is a you problem that needs worked out, of he has this is a y’all problem that needs worked out. The ways to handle them are different and without knowing what kind of problem I can’t help with the solution

Has he ever given you a reason to not trust him?

If he’s never gave you reason not to trust him why worry?

Is there a reason not to trust him

Turn the location on his phone.

I dont no. Alot of men are married to other women in other states. They collect wifes. Hire private detective if you cant trust husbands.

If he has never given you a reason then you are creating and feeding a fear. I also struggle with jealousy but my husband has never given me a reason to think he wants anybody else but me. That is what I rely on when I feel insecure, it’s not him making me insecure it’s me doing that and…if I’m doing it then I better damn well stop.

Thank you John for supporting me while I grow to be the wife you deserve

How have you managed to trust him this far? If you can’t trust him you hsve a problem! No one can help you there.

Why dont u trust him? Has he ever given u a reason not to?

Im wondering just like the others, has he ever betrayed your trust? If not then it’s you, you got something going on in your head… are you having thoughts of cheating while he’s away? :thinking::thinking: Maybe it’s a guilty conscience on your end if he hasn’t done anything to u :person_tipping_hand::person_tipping_hand::thinking::thinking:

Has he been untrustworthy before? What are you having trouble trusting him with?

My BF has always said and makes sense, trust me until I give you a reason not too. You have to put your trust in him until he gives you a reason not too. As simple as that. And you have to resist those distrustful thoughts as much as you can cause it will eat you up and its unhealthy for your marriage.

Dont u have your phone where u can see hom.

Work on yourself and your insecurities. If he hasn’t done anything to show you he is untrustworthy then it’s you not him.
