Trusting your partner

My current DP I trust implicitly. Girls check him out when we're in town and I have to admit that if I've had a few drinks, I "mark my territory" by going up and giving him a kiss or something, but usually I just laugh, because I know that no matter how hard they try, he's coming home with me. I also know that he thinks that I'm "the one" and his future, and he would do nothing to jeopardise that - plus he's far more interested in working on his midget. He does look, and I'm fine with that cos heck, I look too, just a little more discreetly LOL At the end of the day however, we love ach other, we want a future together, and much as I or he look, we are happy with eating at home

My ex is a different story. He had a history of cheating, on every girl he was with, and made no secret of it, and (he was honest I'll give him that) he made it quite clear he would cheat rather than end a relationship that wasn't going to plan. He looked too, but on a far greater basis than I would class as "acceptable" (i.e. I was embarrassed by it, and he knew it, because it made me feel like I was just something he was passing time with until he found something/someone better). Add that to the fact he registered on dating websites (I found out after we had broken up) while we were together, and I guess my trust issues were real.

I trust DH, not just with the cheating thing but with everything. So I trust him to do his best by his family, to not piss all our money away, that if he says he's going to do something he does it etc.
I don't have a problem with the looking thing either, it would be unnatural (and impossible) not to look. My favourite saying is "just because you are on a diet doesn't mean you can't look at the menu"

LOL at AnnC!!!

I trust DH, I don't think he would ever cheat on me and I would never cheat on him, I think communication is the key along with love. I would definitely trust him to go on a stag's night, including one with strippers there and I don't care if he looks, cos that's just human nature. I think if you are too possessive about it then it just pushes them in the wrong direction anyway.

The first guy I fell in love with cheated on me and looking back treated me like crap, but when I got with DH he was such a different person that I have never not trusted him.

I've always told him if he ever did cheat on me that would be it, it would be over and I would know without him having to tell me anyway cos he would act differently around me.
