For me it is more a question of whether she has passed the crucial tests, the test of time, trust, loyalty and devotion...
This is the kind of statement that would drive my best friend crazy.
She doesn't believe that you should have to "prove" yourself to anyone; that "earning" love is a bunch of bull. Everyone should just blindly trust, if they have no reason not to.
That sounds very foolish.. Scripture says in Proverbs to "guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life".
I learned that through experience, a woman almost destroyed me.
The Bible also teaches not to even trust your own heart but to walk by wisdom and counsel.
I agree completely...
But I do get frustrated when I feel like I have to "pay" for another girl's mistakes.![]()
Yeah I agree but not when it comes crashing down, I mean she could tell me all day that she's a "Good Woman" but I really need to see through her actions and being with her for some time.
The "proof" is definitely in a person's words matching their actions.
My ex used to apologize for something then turn around and do the same thing again and again - but couldn't seem to understand why it frustrated me. I would tell him that "I'm sorry" is just words - show me you're sorry by changing how you handle the situation.
