Trustworthy men or people, in general, are extremely hard to find these days. It seems like everyone is out to get one another and if they can’t gain something from you, they no longer care for you.

Without trust, a relationship is doomed from the start. You cannot build a happy life with someone that you can’t even truly understand. If you’re having to worry about them cheating on you or just unable to tell them your secrets, why even bother being with them in the first place?

Untrustworthy people can be fun to be with, but that doesn’t mean they’re going to be there for you when you need them. Trust is something that has to be earned, and they don’t care to even try. Below, I am going to go over some of the things you will only find in a truly trustworthy man. If he isn’t already doing these things, he is not worth your time.

8 Things All Truly Trustworthy Men Have In Common:

1. They bring you around their friends and family.

When it comes to being with someone trustworthy, they won’t be hiding you from the people they care about. You will be welcomed by their family and friends, whether they like you or not.

2. They don’t do things to deliberately make you jealous.

When it comes to being with someone trustworthy, they aren’t going to go out of their way to make you jealous. They won’t flirt with other girls or try to make you feel bad. They will prove to you that they only have eyes for you.

3. They will not be sneaky with their phones.

When it comes to being with someone trustworthy, they will not hide their phones from you. Sure, they might not want you going through their phone, but they won’t cover it when they’re texting someone beside you. They don’t have anything to hide, and when it comes down to it, they’re willing to let you look if it is needed.

4. They don’t give you a reason to distrust them.

When it comes to being with someone trustworthy, they don’t give you any reason to not trust them. They know how valuable you are, and they respect you. If someone respects you they will not break your trust.

5. They don’t care if you hear their conversations.

When it comes to being with someone trustworthy, they will not go to a different room to avoid you hearing their conversations. They are open and willing to say any and everything in front of you. You are both on the same page.

6. They acknowledge you online.

When it comes to being with someone trustworthy, they will actually acknowledge you online. They won’t act as if they’re single on their social media, all the while curling up in bed with you at night. They know where their priorities lie.

7. They are willing to sit down and talk things over with you.

When it comes to being with someone trustworthy, they will be willing to talk problems through with you. People who are not trustworthy will just lie their way out of things and refuse to own up to their mistakes. Trustworthy people are not like that. They know how important communication is.
