How does a couple reach a point where they completely trust each other without any doubt? How can one know for sure that their partner is faithful and true? 

The short answer is that no magic word can make a couple trust each other completely, and it is all based on hard work and communication. Each individual in the relationship should work on themselves while they work together as a couple to reach a point where they have no trust issues whatsoever. If that doesn't work, then maybe there is a reason not to trust each other.

In this AskReddit thread, boyfriends share funny and dramatic stories about the guys their girlfriends told them not to worry about, meaning guy 'friends' that may or may not have different intentions towards others' girlfriends.

Scroll down to read the dramatic, wholesome, and silly stories people shared. After you are done, click here for a story of a bride who called off the wedding because of her boyfriend's drastic personality change.

    • Intrepid Resident_15 2 days ago . edited 20 hr. ago Less than a week after we broke up, she got with the coworker she told me not to worry about. Came back telling me how horrible it was and said it made her realize how much she missed me and she only did it because she felt alone. It's been 9 months and I haven't looked back

    Competitive_Trade835 · 2 days ago he became a dance instructor. He's always surrounded by women now, teaching salsa and tango at a popular studio downtown. Whenever I pass by, I see him effortlessly twirling his students, always with a flirty smile and a wink. It's almost comical how he's found a way to make flirting his full-time job.

    • loondawg · 1 day ago Anytime one of my girlfriends ever had a close guy friend, I would genuinely try to become his friend too. If he was open to it, chances are he wasn't going after my girl. If he wanted absolutely nothing to do with me, I knew he had bad intents.

    And as a rule of thumb, I found if a woman made a "new" male friend when we were already seeing each other, they generally fell into the second category.

    mcmoonery - 2 days ago As a woman who could have been called "the one not to worry about", his wife is now one of my closest friends and I talk to her more than I do to him. I'm just so stoked he married someone super cool who loves him and treats him well.

    WittyBonkah 2 days ago She broke up with me, a week later she was with him. 6 months later, she came back from work to an empty apartment. He sold all her stuff and stole a bunch of her money. I actually struggled not to laugh on the phone when she told me this.

    KaiserFortinbras · 1 day ago • He's in another US state, married with 2 kids and is a GREAT guy! They have been close friends for decades but never dated. They still talk on the phone (openly) twice a year and I sincerely look forward to our get togethers. Solid dude all around. I could trust him with my children's lives.
