Trust Issues and Sex Partners
When one enters into a sexual relationship with a partner, there are particular trust issues that typically come into play. These may include issues of sexual health and disclosure, issues of confidentiality and mutual respect, and even issues of fidelity or commitment.
In my life as a person currently in a committed relationship of some years, I have dealt with all of the above. Further, I have found through experience that the failure of any of these three key aspects of trust can cause significant strain on the relationship, and even cause it to eventually fail.
Of course, foremost in the area of trust between two sexual partners is the issue of personally safety. In my experience, if I don't feel that I can trust both the intentions of the person I am with regarding his or her levels of responsibility and honesty regarding their sexual health (especially regarding their past practice or non-practice of safe-sex), then I don't feel comfortable even coming close to the level of developing a serious relationship.
Additionally, I personally place a high level of importance on confidentiality and mutual respect. This is because, without mutual respect, a relationship can degenerate very quickly into a source of pain and serious potential damage -- both psychologically and physically. Further, without a feeling of trust and confidentially, I feel that the sexual and emotional relationship cannot fully develop.
Finally, issues of commitment and monogamy are important for me to develop a meaningful relationship. Although I know that many people place little personal importance on monogamy, I am simply one of those people for whom monogamy is an essential component in a relationship.

Trust and Relationships in Negotiation Introduction Successful negotiations rely heavily upon the ability of those involved to develop trust and build solid relationships. If parties to a negotiation cannot trust one another and do not develop the kind of relationships required, it is highly unlikely that they will arrive at the kind of satisfactory, win-win outcome that all sides desire.

(2009), yet faculty trust was included as an identified feature of academic optimism and thus the relationship of these two studies is made clear and the reliability of Smith and Hoy's (2007) study greatly increased.

Wulf uses David Hume's well-known skepticism to advance his concerning the extreme degrees to which philosophy had been taken before returning to less radical modes.
