I have posted this in psychology too, but I figure I could also get answers to this question here.
Obviously love can inspire even the most rational of people to do things that don't make any sense from a logical standpoint... Lately this has been particularly relavent to me, as I myself am in love, and I feel as though they sincerly love me too. I feel that having known him for so long, and been with them for 3 months to the day, I have no good reason to suspect him of deception. I trust his word, because to my knowledge he is not the sort to decieve anyone, at least not without major emotional reprecussions that he himself is aware of. He lied to a stalker would-be boyfriend, with my help, in order to throw him off and protect us from familial discord and possible harm; to this day, nearly 3 months later, he still feels guilty for doing this.
Now from a glance I'm realising that my trust in him could very well just be a leap of faith. I feel as though I have evidence supporting his honesty, but my evidence is basically the emotions I've observed from him and the sincerity I feel from him.
I'm not sure exactly what question I should conclude this with, basically I'm looking for the thoughts of those reading my disorganised ramblings...
