I can’t trust my partner
He’s broken my trust so many times. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong. He says he’s going to stop hurting me but I question, What else is he capable of doing?

I'm sorry to hear about the repeated trust issues in your relationship. Trust is crucial, and questioning the future is completely understandable. It's not about something you're doing wrong; it's more about your partner's actions and commitment to change. Would you like to share more about your thoughts and feelings on this? We are all here to listen and support you.
Thank you for your response,
He’s claimed on changing for so long and keeps putting me in situations where I’m left even more traumatized. I’ve completely lost myself since meeting him and yet I cannot see a life without him. I miss who I used to be. And I hate the person he’s made me to be.
You know him better than any of us.
@powerfulPlum3916 - even though you say you can't imagine your life without him, the real answer is when you wrote how you do not like the person you have become because of his actions, behaviors etc. I hope you can find some other support through this situation. You deserve to be honored, trust in your partner and reclaim your true self again.

It's just as you said, Plum. He's broken your trust so many times and it's understandable that you would feel this way, situations like this make you feel really emotionally overwhelmed. Sometimes we just have to ask ourselves...don't we deserve better than this? How much more of this can I take?

Hello! I have just come across your post.
I'm so sorry to hear that your partner has broken your trust multiple times. Understandably, you might feel uncertain about the future of your relationship and start to question whether you can trust him moving forward.
It can be helpful for you to initiate a sit-down talk with all open and honest communication with your partner. This can be about how you feel and what you need from them in order to rebuild trust in your relationship. You should bring up the things that bother you and make sure your partner knows how it makes you feel.
After your conversation, take time to think and see if your partner is going to make changes and rebuild trust with you. Please remember that your well-being and happiness should be a top priority and your feelings matter! You are strong and I wish you the best. Take care and have a good day (:
@powerfulPlum3916 I am really sorry to hear this and I know how hard you are fighting to stay strong at this very moment, but I want to assure you that this too will pass and you will look back and pat yourself at the back and say you did your very best. Trust is hard to recover after it has been broken so I understand how you must be feeling, so just stay strong for me.

Trust is not earned it’s given.
If you can’t trust him I would be concerned for you.
Can you talk to him and say what you’re feeling?
@powerfulPlum3916It sounds like you're in a very difficult and painful situation. Trust is a foundational aspect of any relationship, and when it's repeatedly broken, it can create significant emotional turmoil. Here are some thoughts on how to approach this:
@powerfulPlum3916 I'm sorry to hear that, and you are completely valid. You aren't at fault for his actions and it is a tricky situation to be in. Words are just that: words. If he hasn't held up his promises you can't be blamed for feeling this way. Do what you feel is best for yourself, and all the best!
