Mutual trust and respect are the cornerstone of any of my relationships or friendships. Without that, I am not capable of the level of vulnerability required to maintain a healthy and productive relationship. I can't speak for anyone else though.

I would like to reiterate that poisoning the well by breaking mutual trust and respect with those you love is not valid praxis, and if one of my good friends did that to their partner I would probably think twice about letting them into the circle again (partly out of a sense of respect for the person whose trust was breached, and partly because issues of trust are a personal safety issue for me).
