This is how my wife and I operate even before we got married

Admired married couples frequently demonstrate strong, open communication, deep mutual respect, and unwavering trust. They prioritize teamwork,, share common goals, show consistent affection, and navigate conflict through empathy and compromise rather than ego. Key traits include patience, forgiveness, and balancing individual interests with time spent together.

We have no problems keeping our EXs photos. We don't mind and actually encourage each other to spend time with our friends separately on outings i.e., girls night out trip, guys camping trip, etc.

Some insecure folks are like "what if she cheats on you" during those girls night out??

I'm like our relationship is built on trust so if she chose to break our trust then it's on her:

true, but when the flame (s/he sees greener pasture on the other side of the fence) isn't there anymore, none of those is relevant...

Relationship is built on trust, love and faith as it's a good foundation but when the trust is broken, not much will matter much after that.
