Okay, this is a tough one.
When you are in love with someone, at what point do you trust them or does being in love mean you trust them anyway?
And at what point does that stop, once you've been cheated on once or do you become less trusting (two different things).
I personally believe you can trust someone and love them but they don't go together necessarily - you have to build trust but love is unexplainable, you know it's there.

I used to worry about her going clubbing with her friends etc but even though she's gone on holiday with 16 of her girlfriends I truly believe and trust in her. And yes, I'm madly in love with her, and have been from the start <IMG alt="image" SRC="http://www.thesite.org/ubb/smile.gif">

That's not to say I never trusted her until now, far from it - we would have split up if that was the case, perhaps I'm about talking about trust at all.
All I know is that I'm very happy and comfortable in our relationship and therefore, very lucky <IMG alt="image" SRC="http://www.thesite.org/ubb/smile.gif">

you think?, I'm no tsure, to truely love somebody trust has got to be there, so I think they can only both happen at the same time, although trust has never and will never equal love, just due to society I guess
I think you can trust and love someone. But there are are different levels of trust. And trust grows as a relationship growns
So when I trust someone, I generally will love them, but not in the same way i would love and trust a partner in a sexual relationship.
Confused? I can't make it any clearer except that trust=love, just I made an argument for it.
As for love=trust, i think that that is true, but only because love -true, proper love - can't happen without trust.
So trust always comes before love, and trust and love always come together.
