i don't believe there is a time limit on it, just depends on how remorseful they are, how willing they are to allow u to voice your pain, and how forgiving u are. certain things need to happen first, the person who betrayed u needs to tell u they understand that what they did hurt u, they can't sweep it under a rug, or refuse to talk about it, it requires alot of work on both parties involved to restore trust, such as letting u know where they are at, or if they will be late getting in from work. total honesty has to be, nothing else will help the hurt.

Total trust might never be won totally again unless the offender gives up all things that caused the mistrust and by owning up to it. If one knows FOR SURE ALL HAS STOPPED it could change. But the hurt of betrayal can always be felt. It tears a person's confidence down to the extent that it takes their joy away for a long time. Only if the offender takes accountibility for what they did and they STOP IT completely can trust be regained. If they continue hiding things the other person will know. Trust is gone until hiding is stopped. You have to be completely loyal or you won't get trust back. And a woman's intuition is very good. You have to win it back by becoming honest about all things and not being angry at the other person for being hurt.

The easier way to fix this is if you are the betrayer. Always be where you say you are going to be always. Never not do what you say you will do. If you want that trust to come back after being betrayed, you'll have to see that person do exactly this forever. When they don't you'll be a step back from where you started. It's difficult to force yourself to trust again because part of you keeps saying, "are you stupid, you're going to trust again? trust hurts, no way."

After betrayal it is almost imposible to trust completely and totally again. Maybe the person will eventually forgive, but will they ever forget? It's best to make a clean break and move on.

I could never totally trust someone who betrayed me.

Depends on the person and the situation. Sometimes the trust never comes back.

I don't think the trust comes back totally, but over time and that person making up for the betrayal, hopefully, they don't repeat it, it goes to the wayside and you trust them more and more.

You will probably never fully trust them. They can earn back part of the trust but there will always be a part that doesn't trust them and second guesses everything. Even on simple lies.

it may take a few days and even years. the betrayer might have to face reality that the person MAY NEVER trust them again

Depends on the betrayal, the attitude of the betrayer, and what both parties are willing to do to try to repair the relationship.
