Trust is such a vital aspect of a relationship, and unfortunately, trust can easily be broken. When betrayal happens, it might be surprising and perhaps even the result of good intentions, but unfortunately, it doesn’t matter.  Research has found that when trust is broken, it can’t always be repaired.
