Some people in our lives have disappointed us, proven they don’t have our best interests in mind, seriously messed up, lied to us, hidden things from us, made us feel powerless, made us look foolish, and told us things were fine when they weren’t fine at all. We paid a high price for their actions. When people have a bad track record, of course it’s not wise to keep blindly trusting them. But we also don’t want to make our future relationships pay for the sins of the people who broke our trust in the past.
