Based on the little information provided, I will attempt at covering an area that as a man I feel is important in a relationship.

I think the breakdown of trust happens over time. To a man, his castle's protection is paramount. Anything done to Weddle away at its foundation, is enough over time to react.

It could be things said and done, that maybe he felt hurt the relationship foundation. Do you accept his opinion, or does it get over ridden by someone else, like another man? This will weaken the trust. If he has to keep looking over his shoulder to see what you've done, and he feels insecure by it, his trust will deteriorate over time, until the point he places a wall between you.

Msblessed agony aunti have that same problem but it's the other way around i dont trust my boyfriend. But you should talk to him about it ask him why he doesn't trust you and then let him know that you could be trusted. You can't make him trust you but you could try.

Have a chat with him and ask him what is his fear and reasoning. If he can't give you a fair enough or better reason....tthen move on to some one who does trust you!
