Azuriela, you are talking about the essence of a relationship: understanding and being understood on the one hand and trust on the other.
One of your friends has broke your trust, another has broken communications, and you are together with a husband with whom you share a past, possibly deep emotions and a commitment, yet insufficient understanding.
Now you feel sadness over the loss of your friends and about the lack of understanding with the person with whom you live. Did I understand this correctly?
There is only one answer: rebuild, in greater understanding of what is possible. Strengthen the bonds with people all around you, find new friends slowly and (re)build confidence in your close partnership. This means, take time to listen precisely to their needs, empathize, and permit yourself to grow important in their lives as they are becoming more important in your life. And never betray the new trust yourself. Build a strong and dependable network.
As time goes by, true friends that last and true understanding with our partners becomes the most important part of our entire lives. Those are the elements that make us feel good throughout the entire day.
