Default Dealing with signs of cheating and denial

What do you do when you detect signs of betrayal, like scratches from nails on his back and confront your partner with it, but your partner simply says it isn't so and blames you for a lack of trust?

Tell him that trust is fostered by openness and honesty and that it has to be earned. No one has an inherent right to be trusted. If he cares to open up about the scratches, he stands a much better shot at maintaining your trust.

Hiya

Sorry to hear your problem.
Unless he has fallen in a rose bush get rid. He is only going to keep doing what he can get away with. Trust your gut feelings.

What do you want to do? work it out or leave?
try some EFT http://silviahartmann.com/eft-relati...oxy%20Protocol

I just hate it when people transfer their own problems. IMHO get out and don't let him treat you like a muppet, regardless of love or not it's a question of self repect.
