"TRUST" is the most important factor which keeps the lines of communication open at all times and for a relation to grow what we need is to have safety as well as trust, we can have both of them but there is an amount of risk factor involved. If we are able to feel and express trust, then we would definitely be feeling safe. while talking about trust it doesn't means imposing your trust into others and what we actually need is to be able to trust our own self first then to expect the same from others, which can be very difficult if our past relationships was never been fulfilling and the most important thing we should be honest with our partner.
It is not always that truth hurts but sometimes the truth really hurts quite deep but hiding it only makes the situation go worsen and the only way to build trust between you and your partner is to speak honestly from the heart about our feelings. Today we all chat on net with strangers with whom we share a lot of personal things but why cant we share with our partners? I think we do like this as we have a notion that our partner would not understand us and would possibly get hurt or may hurt us, but a stranger can't. We have to believe that what ever our partner does they are always for best of intentions for us and they would never hurt us purposely.
