Why should it?

I sure as Hell wouldn't want to be trapped
in a relationship where there is no trust.

Probably depends on whether or not suspicion is warranted.

No, that wouldn't be worth it.

Lies break trust.
If your current mate is always checking up on you and can't take what you say at face value you must have lied and broken the trust she had for you at one time.
The problem is, you didn't even need to lie to her.
She might have heard you lie to others and classified you as a liar.
Once trust if violated it is very difficult to regain.
Especially if she witnesses you lying to others frequently.
If the trust is violated by direct betrayal, its even harder to fix.

Can a relationship survive an environment with toxic trust issues?

Sure.
Sometimes that's fulfilling to the people in them.

Like one person acts "distrustful" and on some level knows the other person won't trust them, then chase them, snoop on them, question them, demand answers, force conflict. That's how they know they're cared about, if the other person didn't care, they wouldn't flip out, or go snooping, or whatever.
And the person that's distrusting, or responding to the others behavior may love "drama," they're ultimately being given something to focus on, complain about, feel victimized over but gives them value and purpose.

Sometimes lies are preferred. They figure out the lie, leads to confrontation, then the person confronting the other can feel they now have a "truth" they can trust, they're "smart" for figuring it out, they're "strong" for willing to stick around through it, and all those good things for their image.

And it could all be done on a more unconscious level.

There isn't just one universal "right" type of relationship where you have to constantly fix yourself or the other person(s) trying to reach some static ideal relationship goal.

Relationships aren't static external objects.

It only really matters if your relationship with a specific person can survive an environment with toxic trust issues.

Can there be love if one or both Can't take the other's word by faith and is constantly checking up on the other?

Sure.
Especially if people are receiving validation from distrust and checking up on another.

Otherwise ask any parent of a teenager if they "really" love their kid.

I guess it all depends on how it arrived at this point. If there was trust in the relationship, and that trust has been lost for some reason, I would say it's going to be very difficult and take a long time to regain that trust in the relationship, but if both people involved believe it can be restored then it's worth a try in my opinion.

If the relationship began this way, then perhaps it's not the healthy relationship that both thought it would become, so both need to talk and decide on what needs to happen to put things right.

I agree with you. Without trust, relationship cannot be regard to as a union.

Jealousy arises when you are afraid of losing something. control madness is the increase in jealousy. one should realize that love does not mean own. one feels constricted, and the other receives too little attention. in the long run that doesn't come well I think.

Sure, if everyone is in denial about the issues or unwilling to confront the problems and deal with them. Personally, misery is not worth my time. That's why they say, "misery loves company."

Nobody wants to be in a toxic relationship but anybody can end up with a toxic family and work on their relationships because it matters.
