Episode 24: The Trust Myth: Can You Really Ever Fully Trust Again After Betrayal?

You said you forgave them… but why does your chest still tighten every time their phone lights up?

In this raw and unfiltered episode of Hearts Wine from Hearts Distractions, we’re diving headfirst into one of the most painful questions in any relationship:

“Can you ever really trust someone again after they cheat?”

Spoiler alert: The answer isn’t simple—and it sure as hell isn’t one-size-fits-all.

From the emotional aftershock of betrayal to the science of oxytocin, fromforgiveness myths to cultural silence, and from toxic positivity to realrebuilding rituals—we’re pouring truth into every glass. 🍷

Whether you’re newly dating, ten years deep in a marriage, or healing from someone who broke your trust and called it “love,” this episode offers clarity, compassion, and controversy.

We break down:

• The lie behind "once a cheater, always a cheater"
• Why forgiveness isn't permission
• When to stay and when to save yourself first
• Rebuilding trust through daily rituals, not empty apologies
• How your identify, culture, and generational patterns shape how you heal

💔 Plus, real stories, poetic moments, research-backed advice, and a little shade—because sometimes healing hurts before it helps.

This isn’t just a podcast. It’s your emotional reset.
