When trust is broken

We are all humans, and there is no one that is above mistakes or offending other people, and that is why we must be careful with people who we trust and how deep we put our trust in them because humans will always be humans no matter how close we think we are.

I think it is in human nature to disappoint each other; if not, there wouldn’t be people who will definitely disappoint you no matter how much you try to be good to them.

I don’t put too much trust in people because whenever I get disappointed by them, it hurts me a lot, so to be on the safer side and to keep my mental health safe, I try not to put too much hope or trust in people. But I am just a human, and it is in every human’s nature to change at some point in life.

Moreover, there are people who I think highly of and also believe in, so I couldn’t limit my trust for them or my hope as well, but I was shocked to my last breath when I got a disappointment from someone I think so highly of.

Do people go into relationships with the mindset of disappointing each other? That’s the question I asked myself over and over again that year because when I am going into a relationship with someone, I put all my trust, life, mind, and everything that has to do with me in it, but I guess some people are naturally made to bring others down.

So it happened some years back before I met my husband. I had a boyfriend who I loved, and I also think he loved me back because whenever I went to his place, I didn’t see any other things than him, and that was how much I loved him.

But then, he has one female friend that always comes around once in a while because she was a student then while I was not. The very first day I saw her, I wasn’t cool with the way she looked at me, but my boyfriend made me believe that she was always like that, so I shouldn’t mind her. Well, I trusted my boyfriend, and I loved him enough to believe that he wouldn’t hurt my feelings.

One day I didn’t tell him I was coming over because there was no production in the factory where I work; moreover, I didn’t want to sleep in the factory because of mosquitoes, so I decided to go spend the night at his place. Meanwhile, he didn’t tell me his friend was around.

On getting there I just opened the door since I have a spare key with me, and I was shocked to death with what I saw: she was sleeping in my boyfriend's arms, and they were both naked with a blanket covering them.

At first I thought of leaving without saying anything, but he might deny it, so I took my phone and snapped them and then left.

I stopped going to his place, which he noticed, so he called to ask what was going on, and I sent him the picture. He tried to explain, and all he could come up with was that they were both drunk and he didn’t know how he ended up in bed with her.

I guess I was supposed to believe that, but I couldn’t because he shattered my heart, and of course I was disappointed in him for letting that happen; a female friend shouldn’t be that close to a single guy to the extent that she could come around whenever she liked. Maybe he has been fooling me all along, but I am glad his true colors were revealed before it was too late.
