Being naive indicates that you are making yourself believe in everything you are shown or told, and you are so desperate that you are prepared to go along with whatever your partner wants or desires.

This is never the right approach.

It is better to be trusting, and not naive.

A relationship is supposed to be fifty-fifty, as there has to be a give and take for a relationship to work.

If you were to go into it trusting blindly, giving in to your naivety, there is an imbalance in the relationship.

When a relationship is imbalanced, you can’t have a healthy relationship, considering that someone in the relationship is going to feel that much more entitled, while their counterpart perceives that their needs are not being met.

This is not a position you should want to be in.

It’s imperative that you share in a relationship fifty-fifty.

When you trust with good reason in a relationship, you are showing your partner that you look at them as your trusted mate.

You are allowing them to see just what they mean to you.

Not only does this make your partner feel good, but it makes them want to ensure that they keep that trust.

When it is a partner that cares about you, keeping and maintaining that trust is an important element to how they approach the relationship.

This is how you should want your partner to think.

You want to make them feel obligated to do what it takes in order to maintain that trust that you have placed in them.

This works both ways.

When there is mutual trust for each other, you feel more invested in the relationship and prepared to do what it takes not to betray that trust.

If you were to be cautious and doubtful in a relationship, you make it difficult to develop a meaningful bond in the relationship.

There are far more arguments or looks of disapproval.

Regardless of whether your partner does something nice for you, there is a part of you that wonders why your partner did that.

This doesn’t allow you to enjoy special moments in the relationship, even anniversaries.

When you are cautious, it is hard to maintain an open channel of communication that is honest and forthright.

In essence, you hide things from your partner.

You refuse to let your partner know about an important problem, not believing that your partner is keen on giving you the aid you require.

Your partner does the same thing as well.

This becomes a serious problem when there are moments that you simply need some emotional support and yet you are unable to talk to your partner because you have allowed so much doubt and caution to build up in the relationship.

The longer this caution and doubt persists in the relationship, the harder it is to get past it and start trusting one another.

This level of caution and doubt becomes a true burden that is so far-reaching you can’t see a path around it.

In essence, your relationship reaches the point of no return.
