Moved by the trust a wife can have in her hubby

In a relationship, many problems occur cos one party dun trust the other. My encounters with two couples did move me cos their trust in each other is really really great...so great that I really want to trust my bf and future hubby just like they do for each other. Trust can really work wonders in a relationship. If one trusts his/her spouse, their marriage can really be strong and solid. Trust is really the golden key to a great marriage

First encounter:
I know this married church guy whom I work together on church stuff. We work in a group, but today there were only two of us in the room (at church). Then today I met his wife for the first time. And she was really warm and friendly, and she said that her hubby is a responsible and reliable guy with whom I will enjoy working with. The hubby was not around, but in my conversations with her, she made references to her hubby, and she was very comfortable with me working with her hubby. Her hubby is a good looking guy, retired army regular, and he is very rich. He works with both male and female church goers on church stuff, and spends alot of time in church. Yet she is never jealous and never throw a tantrum. He also behaves well. She will ask her hubby to make sure the young gals get to the mrt safe (our church is quite quiet and isolated at night) and she supports him fully in his church work. She does not treat women who speak to her hubby badly (unlike my bf's exwife)...other church workers also spoke well of her. They tell me how much she trusts her hubby. And I can see it so obviously. Some forumers may be sceptical, but I can she is very genuine and sincere. The wife can really trust the hubby and allow him to have his own life - he can have female friends, and she dun stop him in any way.


Second encounter:
Later at another church meeting, I met up with a couple. The wife gave me her hubby's hp number and told me that I can contact him to get the info I need as he is more heavily involved in the project (we are working on a project) then her. She seldom come to church too. And she is ok with me calling or msging her hubby when I need info. She told me I can do that. I can see she trusts her hubby. I mean, I am a single gal, and many pple mistake me as a PRC just because I have fair skin and black hair. But she did not fear anything and did not hestitate to give me her hubby's hp.

Women do have our insecurities, and we do get overcome with fears, thinking negatively and letting our imagination run wild. After reading so many sad stories in this forum, I was really happy to see sparks of trust in my real life encounters. And I told myself that my bf has really earned my trust so I should really let go of any negative thoughts or any fears that may come in any situation, and really trust him like the two ladies.

TRUST - a valuable word, yet many take for granted.
 


usually when a family has religion in their lives they behave better.

its unlikely that such 'generosity' would happen outside church. imo =/
 
sm, honestly, i don't see it either.

not sure what kind of friends or people and which part of "outside church" others hang around, i'm glad "generosity" isn't so rare in my life
 
For people who dun have trust problem, this may seems nothing great. I think Eliz had put in lots of effort to change her way of thinking ever since her very first thread in SB...

Great Effort Eliz...

I'm sure you can inspire people around you to think positively.
 
I am bewildered by your posts again.. My feeling towards you is: "墙头è‰éšé£Žå€’".. You "never" have a mind of your own..

I dun understand why must you "mimic" (I wonder if I used the correct description) others in a relationship.. Wake up...
 
Hi Iris, it is not that I am mimicing other people or that I don't have a mind of my own. It is just that these personal encounters inspire me alot. I am just feeling happy and inspired, and it has nothing to do with mimicing or not having a mind of my own. In life, we meet so many pple and encounter so many things. It is the positive encounters that really enrich our lives and inspire us to do even greater.

Roger and littlewoman...thanks...both of u really understand me. ;)
 
It's not necessary to have positive encounters to enrich oneself.. Think again..

I am not here to pass judgement on you. Just my personal feeling towards you. No hard feeling, coz I don't even know who you are and I really don't understand you afterall..

External factor does play a part in our life. However, we need to have a clear mindset to know what kind of life we leading to..

There is no such thing as "便 ·ç”»è‘«èЦ" in a relationship..
 
i trusted my hubby implicitly too.. he can flirt all he wants with his female colleagues and even intro them to me as his mistress or girlfriend all in fun. i was perfectly alright with it. for so many years, he had my total trust with no conditions attached. but yet he chose to play it on the edge by lying to me again and again recently. now whenever his phone rings, i involuntarily think the worst. any new female colleague he has, i feel insecure. who is to blame? him or me? i no longer have the answers.

all i want to say is, trust is a fragile thing. dont be so quick to judge women who are suspicious for they may have a good reason to be. they may not be proud of what they are or what they've become. they may be struggling to regain their security and faith, like i am right now.
 
Hi Iris...what does the Chinese words mean...my chinese not v good. dun worry, no hard feelings either...juz sharing what I feel. hm..ok, will go reflect on what u have just said...even if I don't have the answers now, it may come to me one day....

Hi stardust, I can empathise with you. Have you spoken to ur hubby about what u feel? Trust is a two way thing. he must put in the effort to let u trust him again.
 
How much we trust our partners varies... Personally, I dun realli trust my HB initially, no lying or straying incidents etc but jus my insecurity that is causing issues... having fears etc... But this improves over the yrs and now we have complete trust with each other, completely at ease with each other being friends with the opposite sexes...

littlewoman, that is what I want to achieve w my bf too:

being complete at ease with each other being friends with the opposite sexes

I do treasure everything my bf does for me, and many of the things he does make me feel that I can trust him....and they all add up....time and incidents will prove how much we can trust our man. but not easy....

Eliz, is there somebody you wanted to humdum? Can't help but saw comparison of your bf's ex-wife and these two wonderful ladies in your post.
 
Trust is an ingredient in a relationship.. but it is not ALL.

Trust can be abused. Or even when not abused, trust is not magic.

Trust alone does not make a relationship great.

The reason I said the examples are not a big deal is not because I think nothing of them of those women but I think it should be the norm.. and not exception.

But I guess for people who are insecure and not trusting.. trust is a very difficult concept.
 
Hi Doll...er, what is humdum? pls pardon my poor singlish!!

in the meantime let me try to guess what the word is.... these two ladies and my bf's exwife are seperate issues so not lumping or comparing wif any intent...the only similarity is that they are from the same church just like me
