Use the checklist

Prepare a conversation about trust

A relationship reflection can help you describe concerns without deciding in advance how another person must respond. Use this sheet to clarify what you want to say and what boundaries matter to you.

Checklist

  1. Write the specific situation and its effect on you. Separate what you observed from assumptions about another person's intentions, and avoid building a conversation around a vague character judgement.

  2. Identify what you need to ask or communicate. Choose a manageable topic and consider whether the setting allows both people to speak and pause.

  3. Afterwards, note what was understood, what remains unresolved and which boundaries you want to maintain. Seek suitable support if the situation is distressing or you do not feel safe discussing it directly.

Questions and answers

Does rebuilding trust require an immediate decision?

You can take time to consider actions, consistency and your own needs. A reflective prompt does not require forgiveness, continued contact or a particular relationship outcome. Keep the pace and scope of the conversation appropriate to your circumstances.
