The other day, my friend confessed, “I can never trust men fully. But why? In spite of all the “good” things that he does for me, why…?” Maybe, the accumulated experiences… from childhood, I said, after a few moments of silence.
When I woke up this morning, I wondered if there is a different category of women for whom trusting men is difficult? Is there anyone who trusts their boyfriends and husbands one hundred percent?
We did not speak about it later; it is such a common feeling among many of my friends, that we have begun to take it for granted. After all, they are from Mars!

Suma,
There were two thoughts that came to my mind becase of your piece:
1. Maybe we dont trust because we are afraid of being vulnerable.
2. We cast an image of expectations on people and put our trust in that, rather than in who they actually are. When they inevitably break that trust (how can anyone fully live upto the unrealisitic expectations of a male-female relationship), we cry foul and rant and rave.
A friend once punned on the word 'rely' saying a person you rely on is simply a person who lies to you again and again :)))
