Get Your Ex Back – 5 Ways to Get Their Trust Back

Take the following steps to get trust back. This is the best and most honest way to re-gain the trust of your ex.

1. Apologize. Trust building starts with a true, sincere, honest, heart-felt apology. You must show you are sorry for what you did wrong. Tell your ex that you know you caused them pain and broke their trust. Acknowledge that you are at fault. No excuses. And ask for nothing in return.

Perhaps you haven’t spoken to your ex for a while. That does not matter. Give them a call. You’ll feel better and so will they.

Remember, we’re not begging or bartering. We are making an apology. It’s always a good idea to apologize when it’s necessary.

2. Listen. At this point, it’s important to really listen to your ex. Remember never to make excuses. Acknowledge that they’re hurting. Obviously you don’t want to be judgemental, argumentative, or defensive.

It’s very important to listen carefully and acknowledge whatever your ex shares with you.

3. Right the wrong. Take accountability for your actions that broke the trust. You can do this best by rectifying the problem. For example, if you were having a relationship with another person, make sure it is finished. If you stole something, return it. These are just examples to give you the lesson.

Go further and let your ex know when you are tempted by the same thing that broke their trust. Don’t do this to punish yourself. It is to demonstrate that you are taking responsibility. Your actions say more than do your words, at this time!

4. The secret is consistency. Use every opportunity to show that you have become trustworthy. Getting it wrong once at this stage can overshadow getting it right 10 times. Being honest and considerate in all things is the best way to do this.

5. You need patience. Don’t expect results straight away. It might take a long time to get the trust back, depending on the circumstances. But you will get there if you remain consistent. You have an excellent chance that your partner can and will trust you again.
