“We can’t forbid someone from cheating on us,” says couples counselor Melanie Mittermaier, 49. The statement refers to what many people perceive as the ultimate breach of trust: an affair. If you have a cheating partner, you may feel like you can never open up to anyone again. But an affair can actually be good for a relationship, Mittermeier says in his interview with Blick. He believes we often place false trust in our partners.

Do you know people who use compliments to manipulate you? Netflix recently dedicated the docuseries “The Tinder Swindler” to the apparent case of a scammer who did this. Psychiatrist and author Pablo Hagemeyer (53) knows how to recognize and defend against these individuals driven by narcissism. For example, by listening to your instincts. The expert also takes a closer look at narcissistic bosses.

Neuroscientist and psychiatrist Raphael Bonelli (54) does not believe in gut feelings at all. In an interview with Blick, he says, “A person who is guided by gut feelings, without thinking, moves like a nutshell in the sea.” According to him, whether you can still rationally decide whether you can trust someone has to do with your “head sense” as a testing authority. He also knows how to take advantage of them.

Sometimes we get in our own way when it comes to trusting someone. British psychologist Julie Smith (49) says that, especially on bad days, we tend to succumb to the “everyone is against me” attitude that makes us suspicious of everyone. The British woman wrote a book about the mental mistakes that led to this. Blick talked to him.
