Once bitten, twice shy. Even after the problem person is gone the damage they inflicted lingers on.
As a three panel soul comic put it (Regarding love, not trust)
“Love is giving someone the power to hurt you terribly..and hoping they don’t. And we never trust anyone as easily as we did the first time.”
The same can be said of any kind of emotional investment in a person I feel.
