Rebuilding trust. How do we get it back in our relationship?

Question

I broke my bf's trust years ago. We reconciled, got back together and I thought things?
were good. Then he broke my trust. And he expects me just to get over it.
I can not. But I need to start working on this, how do I take the first step to putting the trust back in our relationship?

I have talked to him etc, but I think actions may speak louder than words.

Okay first off it sounds like a double standard. You broke his trust and he forgave you yet you can't with him ?? I understand there may have been bigger issues when he broke your trust compared to what you did but regardless, it should take nothing but honesty. If you ask him where he went even if you already knew/know or it's somewhere down the road, he should be willing to answer you despite the stupidity of the question. It's going to take awhile but if everything is out in the open from here on out, it'll work out for the better.
