Can't Trust Anymore

Fri, Apr 14th 2000

I have currently been in a relationship for almost a year now. Prior to this relationship I was in a relationship with someone for about 2 1/2 years. During our time together we talked of marriage and she assured me that she was certain she wanted to spend the rest of her life with me. But alas she had a change of heart after leaving for college. The relationship that I am in currently is wonderful except for the fact that I can't seem to believe my partner when she tells me that we will "be together forever" or that she wont have a change of heart. Even though deep down I feel that this relationship is much deeper and has much more promise for the future I cannot seem to trust her words. This is sad because she has given me no reason to not trust her. I wonder how I can combat this and stop driving her crazy with my distrust.
