Ignorance is part of trust. Period.
Okay so many people like to ask, “How do you trust her? How do you know she’s not screwing around behind your back?”
Those are the wrong questions.
It’s not about “how.” It’s that I do. I trust her. I accept that ignorance is part of trust and that’s that.
Ignorance is always part of trust because you can’t be with him or her 24/7.
Even if my girlfriend was working here, she can easily cheat on me by having a lunchtime quickie in the toilet if she wanted to.
If you say you trust your partner when deep down you don’t feel good about it, you’re lying to yourself. If you say you trust them and feel the need to keep checking up on them or their social media profiles, you’re only stressing yourself out unnecessarily. If you need to keep thinking about it, you just don’t trust then.
So I don’t think the issue of trust has to do with distance or race. Everyone has to deal with it in their own relationship anywhere.
