Doubts in relationships...necessary?

Check 212...aha aha =p okay I'm too bored! (It's my 212th post, hence the 212 =p) 13 hours and 30minutes before taking off from KLIA (Kuala Lumpur International Airport) and I am stuck at home. "Stay at home to rest", my mum says...well, I AM BORED! LOL! I'm starting to have imaginations of me shopping at One Utama...for some reason =.= and sipping a glass of Chocolate Lounge's Fair Lady (OMGUMUSTTRY! *Pictures in next post) Dream on...!

Anyway, it struck me...in a relationship, are doubts necessary? Of course most people would think doubts are weaknesses in a relationship. It's stereotypical to conform to behaviours that tend to avoid development of doubts in a relationship. People think that by having doubts, it reflects distrust. Personally, I think having a little doubt is healthy! Obviously too much of it is a weakness but having none at all is also a weakness! Why? Well imagine this:

You totally trust your partner and have no doubts in your relationship. He/she goes out and party, socialize, mingle with their friends and it may come to you that he/she is just being friendly. He/she took a little longer to reply you and you think he/she is busy with something important and you are cool with it. He/she says he/she can't come and see you because something 'important' came up and you forgive him/her. Here comes the drama.

One day, he/she told you he/she cheated on you. Would you agree that it will be super devastating on yourself? The trust you put in your partner, the time spent to keep the relationship alive, the excuses you make for him/her to explain the silliest things they did...all gone? What if you have doubts in the relationship before? Would it be easier for you to let your partner go for the right reasons? (Yes, you should let them go when they cheat on you! No excuses!) Also by having doubts, it shows that you care for your partner and you do want to keep this relationship going...and not that you don't trust your partner. That's what i think...comments?
