Q:Hello Doctor! Since you've seen so much of this gorgeous Universe I was thinking maybe you can help out a silly little human being. I'm not sure how to go about it but I'll try. Do you think it's possible to end up hurting someone you love a lot? I hurt the one I love really really really terribly. I am trying to fix things but I am not sure if it will ever be the same. I broke the trust that was binding us. I am so lost. I don't know what to do? Does it mean my love wasn't real? I sure hope not

My dear…it’s certainly possible to end up hurting someone you love a lot. It seems that they tend to be the easiest to hurt because of the connection you share with them and the vulnerability that comes with that.
Your love is real. I promise. You wouldn’t be filled with this much regret if it wasn’t. Trust is fragile though, and requires a lot of time to rebuild. It’s possible, but you have to be willing, and they have to want to trust you again.
I can’t speak for them, but if that’s the case then I suggest taking things very slow. Apologise, give them space, and then slowly, very slowly, begin again. Beginning again is different for everyone I’m afraid, so that’s the best I can offer for now.
Am I a Good Man?
