Actively visited the boards back in 2005...when husband said he didn't love me anymore and I needed a support site to see what others were going through.
Where should a couple start when trust issues exist? Not sure if you'll need more background to point me in the right direction or not.

Hi SS,
Trust is one of the foundations of a good M. So you probably need to head back to MB basics.
Trust in a M comes b4 love. In an A or other dysfunctional type of R, there is no trust.
Please read His needs/Her Needs by Dr. Harley. Good place to start. Go back and read the Basic Concept section above.
Call Steve for a session or 2.
That's a good start.
JMHO,
L.

SS, what are the trust issues? Who doesn't trust whom and why? Are you each trustworthy?
