Repairing a relationship after trust has been broken is a process that can take us through some pretty bumpy emotional terrain. It takes a lot of work, surrender and compassion for all parties involved.
After processing the anger - letting go of resentment is probably the hardest but most elemental pieces. We don’t have to love what the person has done/been doing BUT if we want to move forward we have to agree with ourselves and the other to let go or forgive. Remember forgiving doesn’t mean forgetting the new commitments to transparency that this new agreement going forward entails.

A lot of the time trust isn’t broken overnight, it is a series of incidents or multiple moments of disregard that create the conditions for the break. Rebuilding can take time and honestly benefits from that time so that all parties involved can pursue the next phase of the relationship with honor, respect and a commitment to more conscious connection.
