I have a rule: I don't comment on relationships, neither in theory nor in practice, LOL. But I do wish you a very Happy and Successful New Year!

I think anyone who has ever come out of a relationship...
...has trust issues, because, when do relationships ever end amicably? They don't.
I have trust issues of my own, but, will still give the benefit-of-the-doubt to the right person, on the premise that it's either that, or do without love for the rest of my life...a tough-trade off, especially when I personally know of long-term relationships that actually work and are still going strong.
I guess the expression "cautious optimism" defines my approach from here-on-out.
But, your premise of not surrendering a certain part of yourself is wise advice.

This is a hard one, Bel. Trusting again after trust broken is almost impossible for some.

Sometimes just making that decision is a first step on the journey.
I don't think Shannon's advising you to jump in with both feet without looking. She's just saying to trust yourself. And you can. Absolutely.
