FAQ
Q: What if my partner never forgives me?
A: Forgiveness can’t be forced. Focus on becoming the best version of yourself. Sometimes, redemption is found in personal growth, not reunion.
Q: How long does rebuilding trust take?
A: As long as it takes to bake sincerity into your actions. It could be months or years — consistency is the key ingredient.
Q: Can love truly survive betrayal?
A: Yes — if both partners are willing to stir honesty, communication, and empathy together. Some of the richest relationships rise from the ashes of broken trust.
