Trust means have faith in/believe in someone or something and takes a direct object. Rely on means depend on and is used with the preposition on.

Hi Babi,

'Confide' has the sense of taking someone into your confidence or telling them something private/confidential. After 'confide' you would use the preposition 'in' as in:

She was quite happy to confide in him and tell him her deepest secrets.
