I went through a really bad break-up last year, and finally got over the guy a few months back. The problem I have now is that I have such a hard time taking anyone seriously, trusting that I am being told the truth....I am so worried that I will end up getting hurt again. Which makes me wonder if I need more time...I just don't know. I am driving myself nuts thinking about it all. I really thought that he loved me. We were together for over a year, but when he broke up with me he told me he hadn't been in love with me since a few months after our relationship began. *shrugs* I think I am just being overly cautious about everything :/

Sounds to me like you need to focus on rediscovering your dating life. Just go out and have fun, try not to take it too seriously, and don't worry about the long term. You will have other relationships, and finally that last one that's so strong and right you'll wonder why you ever mourned the loss of whoever that ex of yours was. Trust is BUILT, it's not something you just give away. When you're with the right guy, it will come naturally. :)

@braindroppings: do what you have to sometimes things arent always black and white.....four years same woman got married had a kid and when things got tough she left......sometimes people are just to immature to be in a committed relationship....i know what i want i know ill find it but sometimes you can look forever and what you really need is right there around the corner keep your head up high. people always find their happiness when and where how are just stepping stones to that path.....believe me there are alot of people out there who would love to have a committed relationship and will love you no matter what right

@ThatNerdyChick: Thank for the comment about trust. It is true that it is to be earned. I think that is what is messing me up. I feel like everything is supposed to be perfect and figured out now and established now, but it doesn't (:
