When one woman found out that her husband had shared a hotel room with another woman while visiting Las Vegas, she instantly began to worry about their relationship. Below, you’ll find the saga that she shared on Reddit, as well as some of the replies concerned readers left her.

44% of Americans say that most people cannot be trusted

According to a 2025 survey from the Pew Research Center, 55% of Americans believe that most people can be trusted. But considering that 44% say most people can’t be trusted, it’s going to take a lot of work to earn the trust of many people.

It might take years before someone fully believes that you have good intentions and feels comfortable opening up to you. Especially because so many people have trust issues from being burned by family members or romantic partners in the past.

But if you want to be in a successful relationship, you and your partner will have to find a way to trust one another. According to therapist Erika Labuzan-Lopez, trust is crucial in relationships because it allows us to be vulnerable, even when it’s hard.

Trusting your partner means that you won’t act defensively during tense moments and that you know you’ll receive unconditional love. When someone trusts their spouse, they’ll always view their actions in a positive light. Instead of jumping to conclusions and assuming that they have negative intentions, they will give them the benefit of the doubt.

It’s not always easy to put your full trust in another person, as it can be terrifying to let your guard down. But taking that risk is the only way to have a truly fulfilling and loving relationship.

One unfortunate thing about trust, though, is that it may take years to build and only a moment to destroy. When this woman found out that her husband was sharing a hotel room with another woman, she thought that she could trust him. But suddenly, she began questioning the relationship that she had been in for years. 

Rebuilding trust in a romantic relationship can take a long time

Now, the couple has to focus on rebuilding that broken trust. Therapist Elisa Blair says that it can take a long time to repair trust that has been violated by a romantic partner. Whether it’s due to cheating, spending or hiding large amounts of money, speaking badly about your partner, not coming to your partner’s defense, or breaking established boundaries, this can cause a lot of pain.

And before things can be fixed, it’s crucial to get to the root of the issue. It’s likely that there were issues simmering in the relationship prior to this, so both partners will have to look at their situation honestly. Perhaps the issue has been blown out of proportion due to wounds from childhood being activated in one or both partners.

Meanwhile, both parties need to let go of anger and resentment if they want to heal. It’s natural to be frustrated if your partner betrays your trust, but you have to understand that people make mistakes. And if you want to fight for your relationship, you’ll have to forgive them.

Blair notes that it can take anywhere from weeks to years to rebuild trust in a marriage. And trust issues can linger for much longer. If both parties are committed to making it work, though, there’s no reason why it can’t.
