My first reaction is to say no, it's doomed. My second thought is that any individual who needs to invest 100% trust in another person is doomed by their own insecurity. Maybe that's my own personal issue, though. A certain small level of general distrust is helpful in maintaining a balanced perspective, however cynical that may make me sound. On the same token, I think most people need at least 1 person they can trust whole-heartedly in their life. Some people get that from their parents, some people from their lover, or best friend. I think I'm of the opinion that this role is best filled by a non-lover. Perhaps that perspective will change as I grow older. I can't imagine people go through life after their parents die any other way.
If someone holds that position and then violates that trust, they'll never be able to fill that role again... regardless of which of those relationships the person falls into.
NOT trusting someone is a sign of insecurity, not the other way around.
