Perhaps your trust issue is not one to with other people....perhaps the person you trust least is yourself.

You've made some poor judgements/choices when it comes to past relationships, so now, you don't feel you can trust your own instincts enough to choose a partner who is going to be reliable.

Being alone is a good way to re-examine your past relationships and see where it went wrong. Did you just choose the wrong type of person? If these girls were cheating on you (which by the tone of your post I'm guessing they did) were they trying to communicate that they needed more from the relationship than they were getting and you just didn't 'hear' what they were asking for? Were there warning signs that this was happening/going to happen that you ignored?

These are the questions you need to address in order to heal, so that you can then get out there and start afresh without the baggage of the failed relationships you've experienced before.

As for the question of sex vs love: love is out there, but the time has to be right, the person has to be right and YOU have to be right - that'll come when the other issues are sorted.
