I can and have sat comforatbly on a 1-legged stool.
Its all about balance.
Same thing for relationships, its all about balance.

However, a stool could have hundreds of legs and if I don't trust it, I won't sit on it.
Trust is the feeling you have that allows you to chance something you are not sure about.
Its the sense of safety you feel that allows you to be vulnerable.

In a relationship, the deeper you are, the more vulnerable you become.
Trust allows you that 'safe' feeling.

Once that trust is broken, you no longer feel safe.
If you sit on a stool and it collapses, you might try to sit on it again but not without trepidation.
When your trust is betrayed in a relationship, you might have another relationship but you have trepidation now, which you didn't have before and it changes that relationship experience.
That trepidation can't be undone once it is felt.
You might feel trust again, but its different now.

Honesty is one of several essentials to a relationship. I doesn't matter how honest one is if issues are not being resolved.

I both agree and disagree with your reply.
Honesty is one of several factors needed in a relationship but resolving issues is not a requirement for honesty.
You can be completely honest and still have issues needing resolved.
Plus, honesty is only needed when honesty is expected in the relationship.
There are people that want a relationship without having honesty.
Take any man or woman that hides their wedding ring.

There is no shade of honesty. Its an all or nothing thing.
To be honest, really honest, its all encompassing.
Because, if you can't be honest about something you are not being honest.
Its like lying about one thing but not the other.
It still make ya a liar.

I never said honesty requires resolving issues. I said honesty is only part of a successful relationship. If you don't resolve issues in a relationship it will eventually fail, regardless of honesty.

No, you didn't, my bad.
I read it as you were implying that others might think honesty resolves issues and I was agreeing but saying it different.
My implied thought was to agree that honesty "can" resolve issues that "could" develop in a relationship.
Those issues involve trust issues.
Honesty can resolve trust issues as long as the trust is not broken.
So, I disagree with the second half of your reply because I felt you failed to consider trust issues.
You made a blanket statement and people are individual, handling trust issues in different ways.
Technically, I agree tho.

hello

I trust easily

If he's not talking Serious, he's not interested in a relationship, you're in the Friends Zone only.

Just friends means dating others.

Relationships can grow in Trust, with a Couple .
