Getting hurt doesn’t mean trust was canceled. It just comes back with a probation period.

STILLNESS

WHAT THIS MEANS

Being hurt does not have to mean either an ending or an instant return to how things were. There is a middle setting, where you stay in contact with less exposure and let time supply the evidence. That is not punishment, it is care taken at a sensible speed. Most people leap to one extreme because the middle asks for patience.

Decide what you are comfortable sharing at the moment and share only that. Keep the door open without handing over the run of the house. Look again in a month and see what the record shows.
