I've been thinking about this after replying to a thread on Reddit. Do you feel trust is all or nothing? Some people say it's unconditional. I think it depends on the person and situation. I can leave $1000 on my table when a buddy is over and know it won't go anywhere. I can have a bunch of close friends come over and not want that money sitting out. Not that I don't trust them but... I rather keep honest people honest.

I know an older couple who have been married for 50 years. They've only spent maybe 15-20 days apart during that time. As far as they've told me, they've never had any interest in anyone else of the opposite sex since they started going out. There has always been full 100% trust (wish we all had that).

A married female friend wanted us to goto FL to get away for a few days. She asked her husband. He didn't care. I thought that was odd. I asked how he could not care that we would be going to be sharing a room on the beach, doing some drinking and going out to clubs most nights. She told me he trusts here. My opinion was it's good that he trusts her but he shouldn't want her to be in a position where she might fail. Alcohol, dancing close, warm ocean breezes into a shared room. Side note, she's had a number of flings that he doesn't know about. So much for him trusting her 100% when it should be zero.

Another female friend owns a business with a male partner. They occasionally travel together. She's very busty and wears a lot of revealing tops. As she says, she can't hide them. She told me her boyfriend got very upset when he found she worn a dress that was extremely revealing. As he put it, "it was all about her tits". He generally trusts her but doesn't trust the situation. Her option is she has known the guy for years and she isn't attracted to him. So even if he is looking at them all day, it doesn't matter. I agreed with the boyfriend. No need to make them even more obvious than they already are. The guy is human and breathing so he can get turned on and possibly want to pursue something. So his trust is kind of situational.

What do you think?
