Original Advice

You are allowed to require steady trust. - You can ask for transparency, timelines, and follow-through without apologizing. Needing reassurance doesn't make you clingy; it makes you clear. If your needs go unmet, you can walk away without guilt or shame.

Trust Must Have Receipts

If they cheated, the old relationship is gone. Stop trying to resurrect a ghost with soft words and heroic patience. Trust is not a feeling; it's a ledger. Require receipts: daily transparency, clear timelines, specific follow-through. No mystery, no fog. If they flinch at structure, they choose chaos. You choose oxygen. Walk if deadlines slip. Exit beats rotting in suspicion.

Your body knows the difference between vigilance and safety. Structure calms the nervous system. Transparency is not punishment; it is a bridge back to reality. Consequences are not cruelty; they are gravity. Make trust measurable: shared plans, check-ins, evidence of changed habits. Not vibes—data. Clarity shrinks the haunted house. If they want your depths, they prove endurance. If not, you molt.
