Our 'relationship' (how I hate that word!) was, as far as I was concerned, based on mutual trust, but I realise now that my own trust was misplaced, and I suspect that I was being manipulated. People of the net: what constitutes a basis for trust? I was willing to trust someone because of words, but what good is that? How do you tell if someone can be trusted with your affection/devotion/friendship? -Guy Middleton
